A cross-sectional study was conducted from September 2008 to March 2009 to identify risk factors for BTB in cattle and humans in Jigawa State, Nigeria. A total of 855 cattle belonging to 17 households were subjected to comparative intradermal tuberculin test (CITT) while interviewer-administered questionnaire was used to obtains information on the risk factors. Twenty-two (22) respondent (5%) amongst the families sampled had TB or clinical signs suggestive of TB, while 9 (2%) had reactor cattle in their herds; However, no statistically significant association (P ≥ 0.05) was observed between reactor cattle and human TB cases in the households. The habit of milk and meat consumption was found to be affected by occupation and location of the household residence. None of these risk factors (food consumption, living with livestock in the same house, and presence of BTB-positive cattle) were found to be statistically significant.
2008年9月至2009年3月开展了一项横断面研究,以确定尼日利亚吉加瓦州牛和人类患牛结核病(BTB)的风险因素。对属于17户家庭的855头牛进行了比较皮内结核菌素试验(CITT),同时使用访谈式问卷来获取有关风险因素的信息。在抽样家庭中,有22名(5%)受访者患有结核病或有提示结核病的临床症状,而9户(2%)家庭的牛群中有结核菌素反应阳性牛;然而,在家户中,结核菌素反应阳性牛与人类结核病病例之间未观察到统计学上的显著关联(P≥0.05)。发现牛奶和肉类消费习惯受家庭居住的职业和地点影响。这些风险因素(食物消费、与牲畜同住一屋以及存在牛结核病阳性牛)均未发现具有统计学意义。
