Abstract

The contaminated meat and milk of cattle can transmit several diseases, like bovine tuberculosis, to humans. These diseases are usually zoonotic and occur worldwide causing losses in cattle farms and risking the health of the consumers. The purpose of this study was to determine the magnitude of the meat and milk black market in Brazil. A bibliographical review of national and international publications was carried out by consulting Acervo, Higeia, Dedalus, Medline, Lilacs and Cab-abstract databases, besides the internet and newspaper articles. In this study, the aspects concerning the importance of tuberculosis caused by _Mycobacterium bovis_ in man and animals is approached since its magnitude is still unknown in Brazil. It was observed that the meat and milk black markets needs urgent adoption of sanitary measures since they are one of causes of the public health problems in the country.
