Coupling models of cattle and farms with models of badgers for predicting the dynamics of bovine tuberculosis (TB) [PDF]
Stochastic Environmental Research and Risk Assessment (2015), Vol
29, Issue 3, pp 623-635, 2015 Bovine TB is a major problem for the agricultural industry in several countries. TB can be contracted and spread by species other than cattle and this can cause a problem for disease control. In the UK and Ireland, badgers are a recognised reservoir of infection and there has been substantial discussion about potential control strategies.

Bovine Tuberculosis in Britain: identifying signatures of polarisation and controversy on Twitter [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Approaches to disease control are influenced by and reflected in public opinion, and the two are intrinsically entwined. Bovine tuberculosis (bTB) in British cattle and badgers is one example where there is a high degree of polarisation in opinion. Bovine viral diarrhoea (BVD), on the other hand, does not have the same controversy.

Assessing the potential impact of environmental land management schemes on emergent infection disease risks [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Financial incentives are provided by governments to encourage the plantation of new woodland to increase habitat, biodiversity, carbon sequestration, and other economic benefits for landowners. Whilst these are largely positive effects, it is worth considering that greater biodiversity and presence of wildlife species in proximity to agricultural ...

Matrixlysis, an improved sample preparation method for recovery of Mycobacteria from animal tissue material. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Mycobacterium caprae, a member of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex, is the main causative agent of bovine tuberculosis in alpine regions. Bacterial culture is the gold standard in bovine tuberculosis diagnostic but takes up to twelve weeks.

A big-data spatial, temporal and network analysis of bovine tuberculosis between wildlife (badgers) and cattle [PDF]
, 2016 Bovine tuberculosis (TB) poses a serious threat for agricultural industry in several countries, it involves potential interactions between wildlife and cattle and creates societal problems in terms of human-wildlife conflict. This study addresses connectedness network analysis, the spatial, and temporal dynamics of TB between cattle in farms and the ...

Prevalence and Direct Economic Losses from Bovine Tuberculosis in Makurdi, Nigeria
Veterinary Medicine International, 2014 A retrospective study was conducted to investigate the prevalence of bovine tuberculosis and direct economic losses (DEL) from tuberculosis in cattle slaughtered in Makurdi abattoirs from 2008 to 2012, using abattoir records obtained from the Ministry of
