National Medicos Organisation’s resolution , Jan 1997- Tiru. • Zoonotic aspect of pulmonary tuberculosis needs to be attended by controlling tuberculosis in animals, especially cattle to protect the rural people staying with animals under one roof. • District TuberculousCentres should coordinate with the Veterinary department. • GOI should initiate necessary action in this regard.

Views of Vice-chairman of TAI(1997) 1.Report of RTC, TT testing etc is now history 2.Invariable boiling of milk practice can not cause Zoonotic Tub, even if there are tub.cows 3. Cross reaction due to non-tub mycobacteria 4.Culture of samples did not yield M.bovis. I(Nagpal) know all this does not mean we should ignore this (ZTB) issue. ABSENCE of Opportunity is CHARACTER

Understanding tubercle bacillus, some queries to the audience. 1. Why bovine bacillus was taken by Dr. Albert Calmette for human vaccine (BCG) development? 2. Why we cannot differentiate by observing Tuberculin reaction the type of causative organism ,i.e. human or animal (bovis) ? 3. Why there is cross immunity? 4. If M. bovis & M.tuber. are 2 species , how can they have cross immunity ? 5. Are they different species or variants of same species? ABSENCE of Opportunity is CHARACTER

Francis– What happens in cattle after infection of tub bacillus? • Unlike human ,Primary tuberculous infection in cattle – *Lesions do not heal, progressive TB. * In man – large population reacts to the tuberculin test but does not spread infection. *But in cattle – All T.T. positive are INFECTIOUS, verified by Bang, Pearson and other veterinarians.

True meaning of the term-- Bovine Tuberculosis • Strictly ,this term should only be used to refer to tuberculosis in cattle , but is often used to denominate tuberculosis caused by bovine strains irrespective of the host. • --- Bovine tubercle bacilli and disease in animals and man, Epidem Inf (1987), 92, 221-234.

Grange J.M. and Collins, Epidem Inf. (1987), 92, 221-- 234 , Bovine tubercle bacilli and disease in animals and man • As in man, in animals ,the lung is the usual site of disease, and spread of infection occurs by the respiratory route. Although milk is the principal vector for transmission of infection to man, disease of the udder relatively uncommon, effecting only about 1% of tuberculous cows. ABSENCE of Opportunity is CHARACTER
(BMJ,Oct.24,1908).Why TT +ve cattle are called infectious? • Dr. E. C. Schroeder, of the Department of Agriculture, Washington, read a paper on his investigations,( International Congress on Tuberculosis held in Washington, September, 1908 ) • About 40 per cent of cattle apparently healthy, and known to be tuberculous only because they had reacted with tuberculin, intermittently passed tubercle bacilli with their faeces.
When a number of such cattle were kept under continued observation, the percentage that expelled tubercle bacilli per rectum was found to double in about eighteen months; and both the frequency with which bacilli occurred and the number found in individual animals also showed an increase. Among twelve cows, bacilli in the faeces were at first found in five, but before the end of two years the number had risen to ten. ABSENCE of Opportunity is CHARACTER

Rich,1951- “very curious phenomenon” ABSENCE of Opportunity is CHARACTER
Explanation of supporters of the theory of stable types of bacilli • Generally children are more frequently exposed to bovine infection than adults, because milk is the chief food of children, • That the resistance of adults to tuberculous infection is greater than that of children ABSENCE of Opportunity is CHARACTER
But • These hypotheses are insufficient to explain why the bacillus of bovine type disappears from the human body and why the bacillus of human type takes its place when the infected child develops into a tuberculous adult. ABSENCE of Opportunity is CHARACTER
Another explanation? • The theory of the superinfection with bacilli of human type cannot explain this phenomenon; *Consequently, it is necessary to seek a different answer to the problem. ABSENCE of Opportunity is CHARACTER
Jensen and Frimodt-Moller (1936)-Change of types • Described seven strains of tubercle bacilli, all of low virulence for rabbits, as bacilli of human type. • In all seven cases the authors • were able to cultivate bacilli of the bovine type from rabbits inoculated with these strains. ABSENCE of Opportunity is CHARACTER
Interesting history of strain 1832 Jensen and Frimodt-Moller (1936b). This strain of human type was cultured from urine and grew dysgonic, being virulent for guinea pigs and only slightly virulent for rabbits and calves. The passage of this strain through a rabbit produced a typical bovine type bacilli. This transformation of the original human type into a bovine type of bacilli was performed seven times. ABSENCE of Opportunity is CHARACTER
Conclusion ofJensen and Frimodt-Moller The appearance of bovine type of bacilli was the result of the transformation of the original human type of bacilli into the bovine type within the rabbit organism. ABSENCE of Opportunity is CHARACTER
Pinner (1935) • by means of passages through guinea pigs succeeded in transforming two strains of nonpathogenic acid-fast bacilli, isolated from tuberculous patients, into bacilli producing typical tuberculosis in guinea pigs ABSENCE of Opportunity is CHARACTER

Griffith gives two reasons 1. Transformation, within the human body, of one type of bacilli into another OR 2. Later association of another type of bacilli with the already existing infection ABSENCE of Opportunity is CHARACTER
British Medical Journal, March3, 1934,371, Walker • Discussion :- • It has been suggested that mutation of type occurs in the human body, so that an • infecting bovine organism after many years in human tissues acquires the characteristics associated with human type bacilli, and becomes manifest as such in chronic pulmonary tuberculosis in adults.

British Medical Journal, Aug 15, 1936,pg 324-325.John Blacklock • After many years' sojourn in the tissues it may mutate to a more pathogenic form or even to a human type. Calmette himself thought it possible that in naturally occurring bovine infections in man, mutation to the human type after a time was possible, and might be the cause of pulmonary tuberculosis.

Book. --Tubercle Bacillus Infection AND Tuberculosis in Man & Animals, Dr. Albert Calmette , 1923, page 294. • We are not justified in inferring the duality of human and bovine tuberculous bacillus. • These types differ one from another only because they have more or less adapted themselves, through a series of successive cultural generations to a human or bovine environment. • And it cannot be conceived to constitute special types. • In all of these we have to do with the same bacillus. ABSENCE of Opportunity is CHARACTER
Book. --Tubercle Bacillus Infection AND Tuberculosis in Man & Animals, Dr. Albert Calmette , 1923, page 294. • Many efforts have been made in a variety of ways to convert what by agreement is called the human type into thebovinetype, for example by inoculating successively the same virus from man to cattle, then from cattle to cattle or through an intermediate stage in the goat. It would seem that in a few cases partial success has been attained. ABSENCE of Opportunity is CHARACTER

Dung of Tuberculous animal Milk Borne diseases, Douglas, BMJ, July 30 ,1932 , 198 – 200. • Frequently such animals excrete large number of tubercle bacilli in the faeces. • virulent bovine tubercle have been recovered from cow manure after one year, from a lump of cow dung for upwards of two years, and even from the effluent of a drainage system of the septic tank type
Mode of Infection from Cattle to Human • Magnussen emphasizes the danger children run when they play in infected cowsheds. • Infection between cattle generally occurs by the airborne route. The most infectious particle is a recently exhaled moist droplet containing a few bacilli. Tubercle bacilli are not only excreted by bovines with open pulmonary lesions but also by those in the initial period . ABSENCE of Opportunity is CHARACTER
