Zoonoses (transmission of disease or infection from animals to humans) is a reality and not a myth.
Brucellosis and Tuberculosis (TB) is widespread across South Africa and poses a real risk to animals and humans. Therefor it needs our attention!
The purpose of this presentation is to bring more clarity on definitions, how the diseases are contracted, symptoms and actions to be taken when tested positive. To round off, the presentation will also include the control of diseases and preventative measures as prevention is always better than cure!
