MTBC infections cause significant economic and public health consequences in Ethiopia. However, there is a shortage of epidemiological data on MTBC infections in the pastoral regions of the country. The objective of the present study was to investigate the epidemiology of MTBC infections in cattle and humans in the remote pastoral setting of southern Ethiopia.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A cross-sectional study design was used to recruit 2,396 cattle and 1,200 human presumptive tuberculosis (TB) cases for this study from the southern pastoral districts of Ethiopia.
