Abstract

The impact of bovine tuberculosis eradication programs (TBb) was evaluated from scientific publications carried out from 1996 to 2017. The research was carried out using techniques in text mining. The information was collected from different databases available on the web with the help of a bibliographic reference manager. Abstracts were used in the process of matrices construction. Based on the information collected, vectors were created on the “implementation of programs to eradicate bovine tuberculosis”, “incidence and prevalence of zoonoses”, “marketing of livestock”, “presence of reservoirs” and “incidence and prevalence of bovine tuberculosis in cattle”. Comparative (Kruskal-Wallis, P ? 0.05) and correlation (Kendall and Spearman, P ? 0.05) analyzes were performed from records frequency. Principal Components Analyzes was used to determine the interrelationships of evaluated factors. All analyzes were performed in the statistical computing environment R. The results allowed inferring that there was a significant reduction in the number of records of incidence of the disease, in animals and humans, in the period 2010 - 2017. This reduction was aided by the development and implementation of eradication programs and it was related to the reduction of the reservoir records; prior to 2010, the positive relationship of the prevalence and chronicity of the disease, in animals and humans, mortality and commercialization of animals was recorded pro-actively and had little relationship with the eradication programs; and that as of 2010, the records of the prevalence and chronicity of the disease, in animals and humans, the mortality and commercialization of animals ceased to be proactive. This fact was related to the development and implementation of programs to eradicate the disease.
