Significant improvement in bovine tuberculosis (BTB) levels has been achieved in Ireland over the past 10 years. This is attributed to a coordinated program of control and eradication in both the cattle herd and also in the wildlife reservoir, the badger, underpinned by a comprehensive research and development program. Once badger infection was identified as a possible constraint to eradication of BTB in bovines, in the early 1990s, the national BTB research program was refocused to address this new limitation. In 1996, Ireland commenced its own vaccine development program in 1998. The aim of vaccination is to reduce the prevalence of infection in the badger population or to change the expression of the disease and limit the rate of M. …
