EU: European Union.
–: Data not reported.
DFS: Disease‐free status, i.e. free of infection with M. bovis and M. caprae in bovine animal population.
: Y: yes; N: no; A: aggregated data; C: case‐based data.
: Not reporting species of the M. tuberculosis complex.
: Cases reported by the United Kingdom for the period 2017–2019 were also considered for this estimation (EU‐28). When the United Kingdom data were collected for the period 2017–2019, the United Kingdom was an EU MS, but it became a third country on 1 February 2020.
: In Iceland, which has no special agreement regarding animal health (status) with the EU, the last outbreak of bovine tuberculosis was in 1959.
: Switzerland provided data directly to EFSA. The human data for Switzerland include data from Liechtenstein for the years 2017–2020.
All Zones of the MS have disease‐free status.
Not all Zones of the MS have disease‐free status.
No Zones of the MS have disease‐free status.
