Abstract

India has the highest global burden of human tuberculosis (TB) and the largest cattle herd with endemic bovine TB (bTB). However, the extent of cross-species transmission and the zoonotic spillover risk, including drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) strains circulating in cattle, remain uncharacterized.
