Temporal and seasonal trends of bovine tuberculosis in the Irish cattle population (2008–2024)
Veterinary Record, EarlyView.Abstract Background Bovine tuberculosis (bTB) has substantial impacts on the Irish cattle industry. Between 2016 and 2024, its burden increased in Irish cattle. As an initial step towards understanding drivers of this increase, we explore long‐term trends in measures of bTB burden and cattle demographics in Ireland. Methods Using data from 2008 to 2024,

We found that Stephens’ kangaroo rat (Dipodomys stephensi) residents and intruders were dominant over Dulzura kangaroo rat (Dipodomys simulans). These results suggest that D. simulans
