Bovine tuberculosis is a zoonosis caused by Mycobacterium bovis which belongs to Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex. The genome size of Mycobacterium bovis is a little smaller than that of M. tuberculosis. and the genome sequence of M. bovis is around 99% homology with that of M. tuberculosis. Bovine tuberculosis has been broken out worldwide even though some developed countries have succeeded to remove the cows infected with M. bovis in the countries. In Korea, bovine tuberculosis was reported in 1913 at first. Bovine tuberculosis has been steadily occurred until now even though the outbreak has been decreased tremendously due to the test and slaughter policy, the restriction of animal movement from the infected farms, the slaughterhouse surveillance and the compensation for the diagnosed animals as tuberculosis, implemented by many developed countries, To accomplish bovine tuberculosis-free status in Korea, each group - the national policy group, the local policy group, the research group, and the owner group has been incorporated each other, and the cooperation of each group should have been enforced. The research group have endeavored to find the improved sensitive and specific diagnostics and develop more efficient diagnosis to prevent the spread of bovine tuberculosis.
