Abstract

The incidence of bovine TB, a potential threat to human health and the livelihood of farmers, is rising in parts of Britain. The disease is thought to be transmitted to cattle by badgers, a protected wildlife species. A recently published review suggests that the British Government should adopt a more scientific approach tan in the past to evaluating control strategies.
