Abstract
Currently, according to the World Health Organization (WHO) for 2019, tuberculosis ranks first among human diseases. Every fourth inhabitant of the planet is a carrier of Koch's bacillus. Often, nonspecific reactions to tuberculin are detected in humans and animals sensitized by atypical mycobacteria. That is why tuberculosis has a different degree of spread in individual regions or countries. The spread of tuberculosis is influenced by human non-observance of sanitary and medical standards, and in veterinary medicine – by the lack of feed and unsanitary conditions for animals, which, in turn, leads to an increase in the incidence of tuberculosis among humans and animals. The uncontrolled movement of animals, feed, raw materials and animal products aggravated the epizootic situation of tuberculosis, and hence the epidemiological one. Currently, the fact of evolutionary variability of the causative agent of tuberculosis has been established. Environmentally – technogenic press, as well as the spread of coronavirus infection, all this led to a decrease in immunity in humans and animals and, accordingly, an increase in the incidence and mortality from tuberculosis.
