    Roadmap for zoonotic tuberculosis 2017
    Also available in:
    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.
