The incidence of bovine and human tuberculosis in cattle and other animals was evaluated in Croatia (HRV), the Czech Republic (CZE), Hungary (HUN), Poland (POL), Slovakia (SVK), and Slovenia (SVN) from 2000 to 2004. Bovine tuberculosis was diagnosed in 188 cattle herds in the area under study as follows: 145 (77.1%) outbreaks in small herds (less than 10 cows) and 43 (22.9%) outbreaks in herds with ten or more cows. The last cases of bovine tuberculosis in cattle in SVK and in the CZE were diagnosed in 1993 and 1995, respectively. During the monitored period, bovine tuberculosis was also diagnosed in several different animal species other than cattle found in zoological gardens. Several sporadic cases of infections caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis were also found in domestic animals in POL, SVN, CZE and HUN.
