Abstract:

Extract: Tuberculosis in the dog is generally regarded as being a comparatively rare disease and only small numbers of cases have been recorded. Jennings (Citation1949) quotes various authors, on the Continent, in England, and the United States, who give the incidence as being from 0.2 up to 13 per cent. The infection is more often the human than the bovine type; Lovell and White (Citation1940) found the ratio to be three to one in a series of 182 cases.
