There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

How do you meant treat TB? You mean treat infected lions or disease as a whole before they reach lions?
As far as I know, there is no treatment for TB in cattle, they usually kill all the infected cattle to prevent spreading TB, so preventing something like that in Kruger is impossible, because disease spread out too much..
As for lions treatment idk, i think treatment is very long, prob weeks/months on antibiotics or something, which prob is not sustainable with so many infected lions.. And vaccine for prevention is still not discovered i think.
