BOVINE TBModelling the burdenof bovine TB infectionThe news item (VR, November 3, 2012,vol 171, p 435) reporting Conlan and others’(2012) modelling analysis of current bovineTB infection, effectively a challenge toaccepted levels of tuberculin test efficiency,may not fit bovine TB’s postwar history.When TB eradication recommencedafter the Second World War, the tuberculintest was detecting TB infection betterand earlier than ever before.
