What is the role of vaccination in controlling Mycobacterium bovis?
Vaccination against Mycobacterium bovis is available for cattle and is a key strategy in controlling bovine tuberculosis. The BCG vaccine, derived from a strain of Mycobacterium bovis, is also used in humans primarily to prevent tuberculosis in children. However, its efficacy against adult pulmonary TB is variable, and it is not widely used for preventing Mycobacterium bovis infections in humans.
