The highly infectious cattle disease Mycoplasma bovis has been cleared from Northland.
The affected properties can now get back to farming as normal, according to Ministry for Primary Industry s M.bovis programme director Stuart Anderson. Mycoplasma bovis is a bacterium that can cause a range of serious conditions in cattle – including mastitis that doesn t respond to treatment, pneumonia, arthritis, and late-term abortions. It has no cell wall so is resistant to penicillin and other antibiotics.
It does not infect humans and presents no food safety risk. However, it has a serious effect on animal health.

Contiki buses usually don t attract much attention from people in their 80s. But every time John Anderson sees one, he smiles. That s because Contiki was his brainchild, way back in 1962. I always wave because I think to myself, if it wasn t for me, you wouldn t be having the time of your life.
Anderson built the business out of necessity. He d arrived in London with plans to see Europe, but without the cash to make it happen. A born entrepreneur, he posted a notice saying he had just two seats left on a non-existent camping tour of the continent. His ploy worked, and he quickly had the numbers he needed to make it happen.
