Abstract:
:Badgers represent a wildlife reservoir for bovine tuberculosis in Britain, which persists in the south west despite almost 20 years of badger control. The influence of landscape structure on patterns of badger urinatory behaviour may be one reason for the localized persistence of the disease in cattle within the region.
