Abstract

The impact of the policies established by the OIE against bovine tuberculosis in humans in the America continent was evaluated. The investigation was done using text mining techniques. The information evaluated was related to the measures promoted by the OIE and the prevalence and incidence of bovine tuberculosis in humans, according to the publication period. Comparative (Kruskal-Wallis test) and correlation analyzes (Kendall and Spearman methods) were carried out in the R environment. The results allow inferring that the measures, prevention and control, promoted by the OIE are able to reduce the incidence of bovine tuberculosis in humans and suggest that measures should be established concomitantly in animals and humans in all countries in order to continue with the reduction registered in the incidence rates. However, the result also suggests that complete eradication of the agent is unlikely if only the measures identified are considered.
