“…The importance of contact between adjacent herds, whether it be lengths of common boundary, fragmentation of holdings, or observed direct contacts with cattle from contiguous farms is associated with bTB status (Griffin, Martin et al 1996, Denny and Wilesmith 1999, Mathews, Lovett et al 2006. In addition to the number of contiguous breakdowns surrounding a herd, other proxies for increased contact investigated in the current study were farm fragmentation, nose to nose contact as reported by the farmer, and local within farm movement.…”

“…described different herd-level risk factors operating in three areas of relatively variable incidence, but all but one (Staffordshire) of these areas would have been considered long-time endemic using our criteria. The risk factors identified here could be categorised into two (Griffin, Martin et al 1996) and New Zealand (Porphyre, Stevenson et al 2008). Herd size may be associated with other factors, such as purchasing activity, farm size, number of premises and neighbouring herds; each of which may be independently associated with the risk of a bTB incident.…”

There are often inconsistencies in the risk factors that different studies identify, and most are based in long-standing endemic areas.…”

Interspecific visitation of cattle and badgers to fomites: A transmission risk for bovine tuberculosis?

In Great Britain and Ireland, badgers ( Meles meles ) are a wildlife reservoir of Mycobacterium bovis and implicated in bovine tuberculosis transmission to domestic cattle. The route of disease transmission is unknown with direct, so‐called “nose‐to‐nose,” contact between hosts being extremely rare. Camera traps were deployed for 64,464 hr on 34 farms to quantify cattle and badger visitation rates in space and time at six farm locations. Badger presence never coincided with cattle presence at the same time, with badger and cattle detection at the same location but at different times being negatively correlated. Badgers were never recorded within farmyards during the present study. Badgers utilized cattle water troughs in fields, but detections were infrequent (equivalent to one badger observed drinking every 87 days). Cattle presence at badger‐associated locations, for example, setts and latrines, were three times more frequent than badger presence at cattle‐associated locations, for example, water troughs. Preventing cattle access to badger setts and latrines and restricting badger access to cattle water troughs may potentially reduce interspecific bTB transmission through reduced indirect contact.
