This paper reports changes in the cattle population and the incidence of bovine tuberculosis in the Republic of Korea between 1960 and 2007, and discusses potential factors contributing to the recently observed increase in disease incidence, particularly in beef cattle and deer. Although there have been ongoing refinements to the existing programme, further improvements in current strategies are needed, including surveillance of susceptible animal species, both domestic and wild, and ongoing surveillance of the human population.
本文报告了 1960 年至 2007 年间韩国牛群数量和牛型结核发病率的变化,并讨论了导致最近疾病发病率上升的潜在因素,特别是在肉牛和鹿中。尽管现有的计划一直在不断完善,但仍需要对当前策略进行进一步改进,包括对国内和野生易感动物物种的监测,以及对人群的持续监测。
