Original publication title: Bovine tuberculosis: towards a future control strategy.
Plain-English summary
This article talks about a group of scientists who were set up by the government in 1998 to tackle bovine tuberculosis, a serious disease affecting cattle and badgers. They are focusing on creating future strategies to control this disease based on solid scientific research. In a follow-up article, they will explore how current testing methods might limit their ability to manage the disease effectively. The goal is to improve how we handle bovine tuberculosis in the future.
Abstract
The Independent Scientific Group on Cattle TB was appointed by the Government in 1998 to implement and develop the research recommendations of the 1997 Krebs report on bovine tuberculosis in cattle and badgers. In this article, members of the group discuss the approach they are adopting in attempting to ensure that future control strategies are scientifically based. In a second article, to be published in next week's Veterinary Record, the group will consider the extent to which efforts to control the disease in cattle may be constrained by limitations in current testing procedures.
