Is there an association between road building and bovine tuberculosis herd risk? A three time-point study in Ireland, 2011-2019

Patricia Barroso et al.

Summary: This study investigates the association between road construction and the risk of bovine tuberculosis (bTB) in cattle herds. The findings suggest that herds located at a distance of more than 3 km from the roadworks have a reduced risk of bTB breakdown compared to those situated within 1 km of the roadworks. Other factors such as herd size, inward animal movements, and herd type were also found to be associated with bTB risk.

Evaluating the risk of bovine tuberculosis posed by standard inconclusive reactors identified at backward-traced herd tests in Northern Ireland that disclosed no reactors

Anastasia Georgaki et al.

Summary: The study aimed to quantify the risk of bovine tuberculosis (bTB) posed by inconclusive reactors (ICs) at Backward Check Tests (BCTs). The results showed that IC animals at a BCT had a higher chance of becoming bTB positive compared to CITT negative animals. However, herds that had only ICs identified at a BCT did not have an increased odds of a subsequent bTB herd breakdown compared to herds that had a CITT negative BCT.

Serological test performance for bovine tuberculosis in cattle from herds with evidence of on-going infection in Northern Ireland

Lyanne McCallan et al.

Summary: The study evaluates the utility of two serological tests in bovine tuberculosis control, showing some false positive results under standard interpretation but good performance in terms of discriminatory ability and specificity.

Future Risk of Bovine Tuberculosis (Mycobacterium bovis) Breakdown in Cattle Herds 2013-2018: A Dominance Analysis Approach

Andrew W. Byrne et al.

Summary: The study estimated the future risk of BD for herds derestricted in 2013, finding that BD length, previous BD experience, herd size, and geographic location were significant predictors of future risk. The findings can help inform risk-based policy development and tailored management strategies.

The regression of the bovine tuberculin reaction: Results from the Reactor Quality Assurance study in Northern Ireland

Emily Courcier et al.

Summary: This study investigated the regression of tuberculin reactions in cattle following CICT, finding a proportional decline in reactions over time influenced by IFN-g test results and the presence of visible lesions. This has implications for improving the quality assurance of current bTB surveillance and identifying atypical breakdowns or reactors needing further investigation.
