This paper reviews the current and future programs for control of bovine tuberculosis in Australia and New Zealand. The paper highlights the similarities between the approach taken in these countries and compares and contrasts the strengths and weaknesses of these campaigns. The successful Australian campaign was based on a sound technical program, with good cattle control and strong industry support. In contrast, the presence of a significant wildlife reservoir (brushtail possum) of Mycobacterium bovis in New Zealand has hindered the eradication of bovine tuberculosis.
本文回顾了澳大利亚和新西兰当前及未来控制牛结核病的计划。该文突出了这些国家所采取方法的相似之处，并比较和对比了这些防治行动的优缺点。澳大利亚成功的防治行动基于完善的技术方案、良好的牛群管控以及强大的行业支持。相比之下，新西兰存在大量牛结核分枝杆菌的野生动物宿主（帚尾袋貂），这阻碍了牛结核病的根除。
