摘要: Bovine tuberculosis (TB), caused by Mycobacterium bovis, is one of the most challenging endemic diseases currently facing government, veterinary profession, and farming industry in United Kingdom Ireland several other countries. The disease has a notoriously complex epidemiology; scientific evidence supports both cattle-cattle wildlife-cattle transmission routes. To produce more effective ways reducing such transmission, it important to understand those risk factors which influence presence or absence bovine TB cattle herds. Here we review literature on herd-level factor studies. Whilst operate at different scales may vary across regions, epidemiological studies have identified number associated with herd breakdowns, including purchase cattle, occurrence contiguous herds, and/or surrounding area as well size. Other some include farm management practices, as, spreading slurry, use certain housing types, farms having multiple premises, silage clamps. In general, consistently are biologically plausible consistent known routes involving pathways.
