Cattle vaccination can become an important item in the toolbox in the battle to eradicate bovine TB in herds, the UK’s chief vet has insisted.
Defra has announced that the first stage of field trials of the cattle Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine and diagnostic test to differentiate infected from vaccinated animals (Diva) are under way in England.
Chief veterinary officer Christine Middlemiss said the trials on a cattle farm in Hertfordshire would test the specificity of the Diva test and gather safety data to check how it performs in the field. The test works by identifying proteins in infected cattle that are not present in uninfected animals.
