A comparison of wildlife control and cattle vaccination as methods for the control of bovine tuberculosis.
The Australian brushtail possum is the major source of infection for new cases of bovine tuberculosis in cattle in New Zealand. Using hypothetical values for the cost of putative cattle and possum Tb vaccines, the relative efforts required to eradicate Tb in cattle using possum culling, possum vaccination or cattle vaccination are compared. For realistic assumed costs for 1080 poison bait, poss...
متن کاملA review of the potential of fertility control to manage brushtail possums in New Zealand
Brushtail possums (Trichosurus vulpecula) were introduced into New Zealand from Australia in the mid-1800s and became a major invasive pest. They damage native biodiversity by browsing and predation, and they are a disease risk to the livestock industry by acting as vectors of bovine tuberculosis (TB). Management of possums includes their eradication from some offshore islands and control by tr...

متن کاملThe role of multiple wildlife hosts in the persistence and spread of bovine tuberculosis in New Zealand
AIM To explore how the inclusion of multi-host dynamics affects the predicted prevalence of bovine tuberculosis (TB) in possums and other host species following the current best practice for control of TB in large difficult and remote areas, to identify which host species are responsible for changes in predicted prevalence, and whether TB can persist in possum-free host communities. METHODS M...
متن کاملRisk-adjusted analysis of patients undergoing laparotomy using POSSUM and P-POSSUM score in Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Sabah.
BACKGROUND Scoring systems such as POSSUM and P-POSSUM have been developed to help predict mortality and morbidity in patients. The ratio of observed-to-predicted (O/P ratio) mortality and morbidity has been used as a performance indicator to compare different procedures, clinicians or hospitals. The aim of this study was to assess the predictive value of POSSUM compared with P-POSSUM in patien...
