Performance of an environmental test to detect Mycobacterium bovis infection in badger social groups [PDF]
, 2007 A study by Courtenay and others (2006) demonstrated that the probability of detecting Mycobacterium bovis by PCR in soil samples from the spoil heaps of main badger setts correlated with the prevalence of excretion (infectiousness) of captured ...
