Synopsis (short abstract) Zoonotic tuberculosis (TB) is not a new disease, but has long been neglected. The time is right for a bold and concerted effort to finally address the impact of Mycobacterium bovis infection on the health and well-being of people and animals. The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have set the stage for inclusive, multidisciplinary approaches to improving health throughout the world by 2030. Goal 3 includes a target for ending the global TB epidemic. In 2014,the World Health O rganization (WHO) defined the End TB Strategy 2016–2035 — an ambitious framework for ending the epidemic by 2035. It calls for diagnosis and treatment of every person with TB. Patients with zoonotic TB must be included if the proposed targets are to be achieved. The fourth edition of the Stop TB Partnership’s Global Plan to End TB 2016–2020 — The Paradigm Shift supports the tenets of the End TB Strategy and includes, for the first time, people at risk of zoonotic TB as a neglected population des erving greater attention. Additionally, the declaration made in July 2017 by leaders of the G20 forum, G20 Leaders’ Declaration: Shaping an interconnected world, calls for a One Health approach to tackling the spread of antimicrobial resistance and highlights the need to foster research and development for TB.

    The objectives of the consultation were to consider and make specific recommendations regarding the implementation of surveillance methodologies for zoonotic diseases, with special emphasis on developing countries in the fol-lowing major areas: • training programmes in surveillance methodologies at veterinary and paraveterinary levels; • implementation of a surveillance programme in taeniasis/ cysticercosis; • training programmes for the surveillance, prevention and control of BSE; • capacity building for surveillance and control of zoonotic disease under emergency conditions; • surveillance and control programmes in brucellosis, tuberculosis, anthrax, salmonellosis and other foodborne pathogens; • surveillance, early warning and early reaction to zoonoses outbreaks; and • surveillance approaches in antimicrobial resistance. Background papers were presented on each of the above topics by invited participants. Each expert was asked to have a minim um of two coauthors or peer-reviewers of their paper. All papers were circulated electronically to consultants prior to the meeting. A one-page summary of each paper is included in the following section and the full papers in the appendices. Following a summary presentation of each paper by the primary author, discussions were held with both other experts and FAO invited participants and staff. Finally, the experts deliberated and presented their conclusions and recommendations to a plenary session.
