Case control study Eves (2001) A case control study on the incidence of bovine TB in an area of extensive badger culling in Co Offaly, Ireland. M V M. thesis NUI. 107 herds in the Project area. This was the total herds in the area with a confirmed TB outbreak in the years 1986,87 & similar herds from the rest of Co Offaly in which intensive badger removal did not take place were selected at random.

Case control study (contd) Herd size Enterprise type Cows per herd Total reactors Reactor cows Reactor non-cows Positive contiguous herds Number of failed tests

Total Reactors ( ) 74 reactors in 30 of the Project Area herds. ( range ) 287 reactors in 57 of the Control Area herds. ( range 1- 34) Difference statistically significant (P < 0.05)

Reactor non-cows 36 reactor non-cows in Project Area. 209 reactor non-cows in Control Area Difference significantly different (P<0.05)

Positive Contiguous Herds Project Area; 0.97 per herd Control Area; 1.91 per herd Difference statistically significant (P<0.01)

Number of failed tests Project Area; 1.26 Control Area; 2.03 Difference statistically significant (P< 0.01)
