Abstract(s)
A tuberculose bovina é uma doença infeciosa causada pelo agente Mycobacterium
bovis, que afeta maioritariamente o trato respiratório, porém pode comprometer outros
sistemas. A sua transmissão mais comum é através de inalação de aerossóis e acomete
uma vasta gama de hospedeiros, inclusive o homem. Dado o seu potencial zoonótico, a
doença representa um grande perigo para a saúde pública, tendo como principal grupo
de risco veterinários e todos aqueles que tenham contacto direto com animais infetados.
Atualmente em Portugal, encontra-se implementado um programa de erradicação de
tuberculose bovina com o objetivo de tornar todo o território nacional oficialmente
indemne. Para proporcionar uma visão detalhada sobre a tuberculose, tanto a nível da
doença como de prevenção, controlo e do seu estatuto de zoonose, é apresentada uma
revisão bibliográfica sobre a mesma. A escolha do local de estágio recaiu sobre o
Hospital Veterinário de Portalegre – Clilegre devido a ser um hospital de referência local
e por possibilitar o contacto com diversas explorações de bovinos. Sobre as atividades
desenvolvidas, a aluna teve oportunidade de transpor os conhecimentos teóricos para a
prática, realizando várias tarefas a nível de clínica de animais de companhia como de
produção, acompanhando algumas explorações que se encontravam em sequestro por
Tuberculose Bovina. A aluna auxiliou no cumprimento do programa de erradicação de
tuberculose bovina, mais especificamente na fase de diagnóstico. Todo o
acompanhamento irá ser reportando no presente relatório.
Bovine tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by the agent Mycobacterium bovis, which mainly affects the respiratory tract, but can compromise other systems. Its most common transmission is through inhalation of aerosols and affects a wide range of hosts, including man. Given its zoonotic potential, the disease represents a major danger to public health, with the main veterinary risk group and all those who have direct contact with infected animals. Currently in Portugal, a program for the eradication of bovine tuberculosis is implemented with the aim of making the entire national territory officially free. To provide a detailed overview of tuberculosis, both in terms of the disease and in terms of prevention, control and its zoonosis status, a bibliographic review on it is presented. The choice of the internship location fell on the Veterinary Hospital of Portalegre - Clilegre because it is a local reference hospital and because it allows contact with several cattle farms. About the activities developed, the student had the opportunity to transpose theoretical knowledge into practice, performing various tasks at the level of pet animals as well as production, accompanying some explorations that were being kidnapped by Bovine Tuberculosis. The student helped in the fulfillment of the bovine tuberculosis eradication program, more specifically in the diagnosis phase. All monitoring will be reported in this report.
