Tuberculosis
Tuberculosis in Cattle and Badgers
Research focuses on the design and analysis of the randomized study of badger culling strategies, a field trial conducted over 3,000km2 costing roughly £7million per annum. Statistical epidemiological research is key to the development of an increasingly robust scientific body of evidence to underpin policies to limit the transmission of Mycobacterium bovis, the infectious agent of bovine TB.
