[History of control measures against bovine tuberculosis--contributions from the Institute of Microbiology and Contagious Diseases of the Tierärztlichen Hochschule Hannover].

Abstract

A review of history and development of research and control of bovine tuberculosis is given on the occasion of Kurt Wagener's 100th birthday with special reference to his and his co-workers contributions to this subject. The topics as well concern the critical discussion of Ostertag's control measures and their replacement by Bang's methods as the importance of bovine tuberclebacilli as origin of human infections.
