Bovine TB -- Ireland
Sent on behalf of Dr Martin Blake, Chief Veterinary Officer, Department of Agriculture Food and the Marine, Ireland
Further to the [above] request for information posted on 23 Jan 2017, we would like to provide the following response:
_Mycobacterium bovis_ has been isolated from several cattle involved in this outbreak of bovine tuberculosis [TB]. The epidemiological information does not support the hypothesis that deer have played a role in transmitting TB to cattle in this case.
