Excerpt from Transactions of the Sixth International Congress on Tuberculosis, Vol. 4 of 6: Washington, September 28 to October 5, 1908; Part Two, Proceedings of Section VII, Tuberculosis in Animals and Its Relations to Man The Control and Eradication of Tuberculosis - Any efforts to reduce or control tuberculosis of live-stock in order to be of lasting value must have eradication in view as the final object. We should not temporize with such an insidious malady, but should adopt aggressive measures that will insure success within a reasonable time. It has been clearly shown by the work of the Bureau of Animal Industry and by other investigations that hogs readily contract tuberculosis from cattle, and that diseased cattle are the primary source of the infection in hogs. The main problem, therefore, is to eradicate the disease in cattle, and when this is accomplished, tuberculosis may easily be eradicated from hogs. The eradication of animal tuberculosis may as well be recognized at the outset as a tremendous undertaking which will require not only the best efforts of the authorities in charge, but the sympathy and support of stock owners and the general public. Large sums of money will be necessary, and in order that adequate appropriations may be obtained, the necessity and importance of the work must be generally realized and understood.

Infectious diseases are the leading cause of death globally, particularly among children and young adults. The spread of new pathogens and the threat of antimicrobial resistance pose particular challenges in combating these diseases. Major Infectious Diseases identifies feasible, cost-effective packages of interventions and strategies across delivery platforms to prevent and treat HIV/AIDS, other sexually transmitted infections, tuberculosis, malaria, adult febrile illness, viral hepatitis, and neglected tropical diseases. The volume emphasizes the need to effectively address emerging antimicrobial resistance, strengthen health systems, and increase access to care. The attainable goals are to reduce incidence, develop innovative approaches, and optimize existing tools in resource-constrained settings.
