Sažetak
Among the diseases that have threatened the health and the lives of people and animals in the past century, tuberculosis (TB) played a significant role. In Croatia, incidence of human TB was 15/100.000 in 2011. Bovine TB occurrence has decreased as a result of a planned fight against the disease in the past decades. Despite the effort, it has not been eradicated yet. In Croatia, the control of bovine tuberculosis is based on annual testing of all bovine older than six weeks by tuberculin skin test. Bovine positive on tuberculin skin test are slauthered and their organs taken for bacteriological testing on TB. Methods for molecular epidemiology are also used in order to enhance the control of TB. Described here are the only two cases of M. tuberculosis infection found in cattle in Croatia.
