Epidemiological dynamics of Mycobacterium bovis and population suppression in badgers (Meles meles)

2015-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Bovine TB in cattle is a major economic problem in the UK, costing the government approximately £100m a year. Badgers are a wildlife host of the infection that causes bovine TB, and there is strong evidence that they transmit the infection to cattle. Understanding the ecology and epidemiology of infected badger populations is therefore crucial for implementing disease management strategies relating to badgers. Gen...
