    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Medicine
    • Wildlife Biology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Tuberculosis (TB) is a significant zoonotic disease with a global impact.
    • Understanding TB in wildlife is crucial for conservation and public health.
    • The causative agent of TB, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, can infect a wide range of animal species.

    Observation:

    • This review compiles documented cases of tuberculosis in wild animals across various systematic groups.
    • It examines the epizootiology, including the spread and transmission routes of TB in wildlife populations.
    • Clinical signs and other relevant characteristics of TB in affected wild animals are described.

    Findings:

    • Tuberculosis has been recorded in a diverse array of wild animal species worldwide.
    • The review synthesizes information on how TB spreads within and between wildlife populations.
    • Specific clinical presentations of TB in different wild animal species are highlighted.

    Implications:

    • Findings underscore the broad host range of TB in wildlife, posing risks for interspecies transmission.
    • This information is vital for developing effective wildlife disease management and surveillance strategies.
    • Understanding TB's status in wild animals aids in assessing potential threats to livestock and human health.
