Roadmap for development of disease control strategies for bTB

What are we trying to achieve and why? What is the problem we are trying to solve?

No antibiotic treatment will be allowed in cattle since resistant strains may develop with considerable risk of transmission to humans.

What are the scientific and technological challenges (knowledge gaps needing to be addressed)?

Possibilities of developing tools to harness the cattle immune system and achieve pathogen clearance

What approaches could/should be taken to address the research question?

What else needs to be done before we can solve this need?

Existing knowledge including successes and failures
