Bovine tuberculosis (bTB) is a zoonotic, infectious, chronic and contagious disease, caused by Mycobacterium bovis that mainly affects cattle. This pathology has negative impact on animals animal products trade. Unfortunately, in Burkina Faso where agriculture livestock sectors represent around 80% of the socio-economic activities, real situation disease not well known especially small ruminants swine. Thus, our study focused both epidemiology microbiological diagnosis (TB) pigs slaughtered at Bobo-Dioulasso abattoir. A prospective was conducted between August 2017 December 2017. Epidemiological data collection performed during routine meat inspection; moreover, samples were taken transported to Bacteriology laboratory Centre Muraz for analyses. consisted search Acid Fast Bacilli (AFB) using hot Ziehl-Neelsen staining. Out total 14 648 2430 period, 156 17 had lesions suggestive bTB with prevalence 1.07% 0.7%, respectively. Females those 2 4 years old infected. The most affected organs were: lungs, liver, spleen lymph nodes. Finally, microscopy revealed 43.35% (75/173) positive cases AFB. These results confirm presence Faso. Efforts must still be made fight against this zoonosis order limit its economic public health impacts.
