This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of bTB lesions in slaughtered cattle and identify the associated risk factors in slaughterhouses in the city of Ngaound\u00e9r\u00e9.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methodology<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A cross\u2010sectional study was conducted to investigate the prevalence of\n                      <jats:italic>tuberculosis<\/jats:italic>\n                      lesions in two slaughterhouses between April and October 2024. Tuberculosis lesions were identified during postmortem inspections performed by veterinary inspectors on slaughtered animals, and the presence of acid\u2010fast bacilli (AFB) in these lesions was detected using Ziehl\u2013Neelsen (ZN) staining. In addition, a structured questionnaire was administered to assess potential risk factors, and their associations with the prevalence of\n                      <jats:italic>tuberculosis<\/jats:italic>\n                      were analyzed using univariate and multivariate logistic regression models.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Among the 1,256 cattle examined, the overall prevalence of bTB was 5.1% (95% CI: 3.88\u20136.22). Suspicious lesions were detected in 64 carcasses, of which 17.14% were positive for AFB, suggestive of\n                      <jats:italic>Mycobacterium<\/jats:italic>\n                      spp. Regarding the multivariable analysis, only cattle origin remained significantly associated with the outcome, particularly for animals from Touboro (OR\u2009=\u200918.9; 95% CI: 3.3\u2013367.1) and Mbaiboum (OR\u2009=\u200914.9; 95% CI: 2.5\u2013292.2). During the study period, financial losses were estimated based on 302.5\u2009kg of organs condemned due to tuberculosis infection, using prevailing market prices. The total losses were estimated at 541,200 CFA francs. The organs contributing to the highest financial losses were the lungs and carcasses during the study period in the surveyed abattoirs.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      This study confirmed the presence of\n                      <jats:italic>tuberculosis<\/jats:italic>\n                      in slaughterhouses in Ngaound\u00e9r\u00e9, with infected cattle originating from various border areas of the town. It also highlighted that the lungs and carcasses were the most frequently affected, resulting in significant financial losses for butchers.
