Zoonotic tuberculosis (TB), which is caused by transmission of Mycobacterium bovis from animals to human beings, is a huge global problem. Bovine TB mainly affects cattle, but WHO estimates that in 2016, 147 000 zoonotic cases of TB in humans were reported, resulting in 12 500 deaths. Now, four partners in health—WHO, the World Organisation for Animal Health, the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations, and The International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease—have launched a roadmap to highlight priorities for addressing zoonotic TB globally.

由牛分枝杆菌从动物传播给人类引起的人畜共患结核病（TB）是一个巨大的全球性问题。牛结核病主要影响牛群，但世卫组织估计，2016年，人类报告了14.7万例人畜共患结核病病例，导致12 500例死亡。现在，卫生方面的四个合作伙伴，即世界卫生组织，世界动物卫生组织，联合国粮食及农业组织以及国际抗结核和肺病联盟，已经启动了路线图，着重强调了在全球范围内解决人畜共患结核病的重点。
