Bovine tuberculosis (bTB) is a form of tuberculosis (TB) that predominately affects cows, but is a zoonosis so can be transmitted to humans amongst other mammals. All forms of tuberculosis derive from bacteria from the mycobacterium tuberculosis complex; the common form of tuberculosis that affects the majority of the human population is an infection of mycobacterium tuberculosos, whereas bovine tuberculosis is an infection of mycobacterium bovis. Symptoms and effects of both infections are indistinguishable, and therefore treatments consist of the same drugs and for the same period of time.
