A combined measure of tuberculous lesions for assessing the efficacy of vaccination against tuberculosis (Mycobacterium bovis) in European badgers (Meles meles) supports the 3Rs principle of reduction

Colin P. D. Birch et al.

Summary: An oral vaccine is being considered as a potential tool to combat Mycobacterium bovis in European badgers. A robust scoring system for tuberculous lesions, known as the disease burden score (DBS), has been developed and found to be the most accurate and reliable. Covariates such as sex, weight, and immunological evidence play a significant role in disease severity and should be considered in experimental studies.
