Serodiagnosis is a valuable tool for detecting badgers of any age with the greatest probability of transmitting tuberculosis caused by Mycobacterium bovis to cattle.
BMC Veterinary Research 2009, 5 :39
A tumor registry of cats and dogs reveals that the annual incidence rate of cancer was higher in dogs than cats, with cats having more malignant than benign tumors, and purebred animals having more malignant tumors than mixed breeds.
BMC Veterinary Research 2009, 5 :33
Spatial modeling shows that occurrence of classical sheep scrapie in Great Britain is associated with flock size and soil drainage, generating a map that correctly predicts particularly high-risk areas in south Wales.
