Abstract

The conclusion from the randomised badger culling trial was that localised badger culling not only fails to control but can actually increase the incidence of bovine tuberculosis in cattle. Professor Simon More and colleagues from University College Dublin question that conclusion, arguing that the data do not provide sufficient evidence to rule out alternative hypotheses.

摘要

獾捕杀随机试验的结论是，局部捕杀獾不仅无法控制牛结核病，实际上还会增加牛群中牛结核病的发病率。都柏林大学学院的西蒙·莫尔教授及其同事对这一结论提出质疑，认为这些数据没有提供足够的证据来排除其他假设。
