摘要: Abstract AIM: To determine the relationship between prevalence of macroscopic Mycobacterium bovis infection in feral ferrets (Mustela furo) and abundance brushtail possums (Trichosurus vulpecula). METHODS: The predictive power a previously reported positive association M. possum was examined by undertaking surveys at sites low high abundance. then tested manipulative experiment that measured changes after reducing RESULTS: remained valid for new survey data, although goodness fit reduced. Experimentally reduced odds 80% years immed...
