Efficient modelling of infectious diseases in wildlife: a case study of bovine tuberculosis in wild badgers

2024-01-30

Abstract excerpt

Bovine tuberculosis (bTB) has significant socio-economic and welfare impacts on the cattle industry worldwide. In the United Kingdom and Ireland, disease control is complicated by the presence of infection in wildlife, principally the European badger. Control strategies tend to be applied to whole populations, but better-targeted management of key sources of transmission, be they individuals or groups, may be more...
