" #bovineTB primarily affected children who drank contaminated milk. Once infected, the bacterium destroyed soft, growing bone. Treatment involved immobilisation, splinting, traction, and body casts, often lasting years." Oof. #patientexperience #childhood #histmed #onehealth #microbes
The bovine TB vaccine stimulates production of key immune cells, a study in calves shows.
The findings help explain the biological processes behind the BCG vaccine, and will inform development of more efficient vaccines.

Indeed, very well said #BadgerTrust - it's been abundantly clear for years ; #BOVINEtb is in the Herd 🐄,

Clarkson’s Diddly Squat Farm Shop. Antibiotic resistance is here. Will the past become the present? ‘Yet’: A Story of Triumph over Childhood Separation, Trauma, and Disability "No one believed me. ‘Children couldn’t have been treated like that.’ But we were." —Harry Drabble
From 2-year-old HarryTB battle in 1937 to the heartbreak at Clarkson’s Diddly Squat Farm, bovine tuberculosis still devastates families & farmers. Behind every outbreak are stories of resilience—like Harry’s—and a warning: TB’s human toll remains, past and present. #bovineTB #AntibioticResistance
#JeremyClarksonFarm #DiddlySquat shut down to #bovineTB.
Clarkson had ALREADY SHOT KILLED ALL BADGERS on his land!

Yet, #BOVINEtb (the clue is in the name 🐄) is primarily a cattle to cattle disease, so in preference to a systematic attack on #Badgers, let's reduce the very high population densities of #Cattle, transition away from #AnimalFharming & #DitchDirtyDairy
It's also becoming much clearer...
"Vetminster" column from Vet Record
#BovineTB - the clue is in the name, and the #BadgerCull has always been unscientific, inhumane and disastrous.
Happy to host the meeting discussed here. Will be doing more work on this in the new year
New paper in Geoforum - about how current approaches to controlling #livestock disease lead to cruel optimism 🎉
We examine how neoliberal policies, including those surrounding #bovineTB, provide initial hope but ultimately result in significant burdens 🦡

Moving on to the theme of Co-Existence... The public scientific controversy over #bovineTB and #badgercull involves politics, science push, media pull AND a very long backstory which has been going on for over 50 years! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31961627/
TB skin testing is ineffective so a 'clean' bull may have TB. Better sanitation & hygiene on farms. Cow poo from infected cows can spread the disease. Watch what you do with the slurry. Badgers probably catch it from the cows.

So it's illegal to test cows for TB without permission from the govt. Which means if the govt are determined to kill badgers there is no way to experiment with other ways of preventing TB. Any research is only with govt permission.
