Bovine tuberculosis in Cuba: current situation and the risks posed by potentially pathogenic mycobacteria occurring in the environment

Original language description

According to OIE (Office International des Epizooties, World Organization for Animal Health), in Cuba, which is the largest island in the Caribbean with its area of 109,884 km2 and more than 11 mil inhabitants, bovine tuberculosis in humans was not reported during the years 2005 and 2016. In domestic animals in Cuba bovine tuberculosis was reported in domestic ruminants (esp. cattle) in the same period in 15 infected herds/outbreaks (9 cattle herds, 4 buffalo herds and one unspecified herd). The last four cattle outbreaks and one buffalo outbreak were diagnosed in 2012. Bovine tuberculosis is transmitted by raw milk and products made of milk which was not properly heated or pasteurized. In 2012 bovine tuberculosis was eliminated in cattle (4 044 892 heads of cattle reared in 14 436 establishments) in Cuba. The human and animal populations are now threatened mainly by non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) from the environment. From five examined soil samples collected in 2016 in different locations which were exposed to domestic and/or free ranged animals in Cuba, six different NTM species were isolated (Mycobacterium asiaticum, M. hassiacum, M. kansasii, M. mucogenicum, M. parascrofulaceum and M. phocaicum) and there was also one non-identified isolate M. species. In comparison to 999 Czech clinical isolates of NTM originating from three years (2014-2016), only one belongs to the same NTM species (84 isolates of M. kansasii was detected). Out of the 395 Czech NTM isolates from different environmental samples only three isolates of M. mucogenicum were isolated; the rest of the four Cuban NTM species (M. asiaticum, M. hassiacum, M. parascrofulaceum and M. phocaicum) were not detected in humans or in the environment in the Czech Republic.
