Intractable policy failure: the case of bovine TB and badgers [PDF]

, 2009
The failure to eliminate bovine TB from the English and Welsh cattle herd represents a long-term intractable policy failure. Cattle-to-cattle transmission of the disease has been underemphasised in the debate compared with transmission from badgers ...

Quantifying the relative predation pressure on bumblebee nests by the European badger (Meles meles) using artificial nests

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Bumblebee populations are declining. Factors that impact the size and success of colonies act by either limiting resource availability (bottom‐up regulation) or causing mortality, for example, pesticides, disease, and possibly predation (top‐down ...

Effect of culling on individual badger Meles meles behaviour: Potential implications for bovine tuberculosis transmission

Journal of Applied Ecology, 2019
Culling wildlife as a form of disease management can have unexpected and sometimes counterproductive outcomes. In the UK, badgers Meles meles are culled in efforts to reduce badger‐to‐cattle transmission of Mycobacterium bovis, the causative agent of ...

Protective Effect of Oral BCG and Inactivated Mycobacterium bovis Vaccines in European Badgers (Meles meles) Experimentally Infected With M. bovis

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2020
In Europe, badgers (Meles meles) are recognized as major tuberculosis (TB) reservoir hosts with the potential to transmit infection to associated cattle herds.

The infrared spectra of HOCl and DOCl [PDF]

, 1951
We have recently observed the spectra of hydrogen hypochlorite and deuterium hypochlorite in the region 1-15μ as part of a general program of study of simple molecules. Since, so far as we are aware, no spectroscopic data has heretofore been reported on

Eurasian badger (meles meles) habitat and sett site selection in the northern Apennines

Natural History Sciences, 2014
The principal aim of this research was to study coarsescale habitat selection and distribution of main setts of the Eurasian badger (Meles meles L., 1758). The study area extends for 161 Km2 in the hilly territory of southern Lombardy (Italy).
