Resumen
Bovine tuberculosis is a chronic disease of animals caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium bovis (M. bovis), a bacillus belonging to the genus Mycobacterium, which is closely related to the bacteria that cause human and avian tuberculosis. The objective of this paper was based on analyzing the process of prevention and diagnosis in bovine tuberculosis. For research purposes, it was decided to apply the documentary review as a way to support the object of study of the research. As a result, it was evidenced that there is still no effective vaccine as a method of prevention of bovine tuberculosis. At present, vaccination is mainly used to prevent severe forms of extrapulmonary tuberculosis; however, the vaccine does not prevent the most common form of the pathology. Currently, the disease has generated great economic losses due to the eradication processes and the control and prevention programs, as well as the slaughter of animals. Although it is true that there are multiple diagnostic methods, prevention and control are the best tools to avoid losses. It is essential that research on the object of study is deepened, since from our perspective, more lethal and harmful variants could emerge.
