Field trials recommended by the EU would have to be extremely large to show a benefit of vaccination, researchers say
Tuberculosis in animals is caused principally by infection with Mycobacterium bovis and the potential for transmission of infection to humans is often the fundamental driver for surveillance of disease in livestock and wild animals. However, with such a vast array of species susceptible to...
Bovine tuberculosis (bTB) is a common disease of cattle and wildlife, with economic repercussions and implications for animal and human health. The surveillance of bTB in wildlife is particularly important, to shed light on the epidemiological role of wild species and for the adaptation of control...
European badgers (Meles meles) are a wildlife reservoir for Mycobacterium bovis (M. bovis) in parts of England, Wales and Ireland, constituting a potential source of tuberculosis (TB) infection for cattle. Vaccination of badgers against TB is one of the tools available for helping reduce the...
Contact networks are fundamental to the transmission of infection and host sex often affects the acquisition and progression of infection. However, the epidemiological impacts of sex-related variation in animal contact networks have rarely been investigated. We test the hypothesis that sex-biases...
The focus of this chapter is to provide an update on the progress in vaccination of tuberculosis (TB) in domestic (goats and cattle) and wild animals (badgers, ferrets, white-tailed deer, Sus scrofa, African buffaloes, and common brushtail possum).
This book chapter discusses the pathology of Mycobacterium bovis infection in cattle and other animal species (sheep and goats, South American camelids, Eurasian badgers, cervids, wild boar, African buffalo and lechwe, Brushtail possum) and the main aspects of the pathogenesis of the immune...
