Bovine TB: epidemiology reports, 2021

Descriptive reports on the epidemiology of bovine tuberculosis in the low risk area (LRA) and edge area of England.

Documents

Details

These reports cover the various counties or regions that make up the low risk area (LRA) and edge area of England.

They supplement the regional breakdowns of the official bovine tuberculosis (TB) statistics published every month and provide cattle keepers and other interested parties with an overview of the bovine TB situation in their area.

The reports pull together descriptive statistics on new and ongoing bovine TB herd incidents (also referred to as breakdowns or cases) in the LRA and edge area at county level, including:

  • regional or county maps of the distribution of new and ongoing bovine TB herd incidents
  • assessments by Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) vets on the likely sources of infection for new lesion or culture-positive bovine TB incidents occurring in each county

In addition to these reports, the iBTB interactive map shows the location details of current bovine TB breakdowns and resolved breakdowns in the last 5 years in England and Wales.
