Computer modelling has a long history of association with epidemiology, including wildlife diseases. This work has led to much greater understanding of the theory of disease dynamics and how to empirically manage wildlife diseases. A summary of the badger bovine TB models and their involvement with decision making is presented. Early work looked at R0, the ratio of new infections per infected individual that arrives in a naive population. Values close to unity imply that the disease should be easy to control. Various estimations for bovine TB in cattle and badgers, and in possums, have put the R0 at not much higher than unity. However, disease control in badgers appears to be more challenging than anticipated. For control by vaccination, …
