摘要: We examined the effect of varying levels badger population control on prevalence Mycobacterium bovis infection in badgers four counties Ireland. In 'Removal' and 'Buffer' areas, proactive culling was conducted to substantially reduce subsequently maintain populations at a low level for five years. 'Reference' localised reactive association with herd breakdowns. The status determined using bacteriology. A total 2696 were recruited into study, 19.0% found be infected M. bovis. two strategies had differing effects subsequent tuberculosis populations. Proactive led long term decrease re-emergent Although there an overall decline disease prevalence, no consistent trend as result observed.
