[colour online]. Interspecific transmission of bovine tuberculosis (bTB) at wildlife–livestock–human interfaces in Africa. Bovine TB can be maintained in livestock (bTB in livestock) and in wildlife (bTB in wildlife), promoted by factors indicated in italics with a grey arrow (e.g. diversity of wildlife, production system). Risks of bTB spillover from livestock to wildlife or humans, and spillback from wildlife to livestock, are indicated in boxes with black arrows (e.g. environmental conditions, human behaviour, etc.).
