Diagnostic accuracy and optimal use of three tests for tuberculosis in live badgers.
<h4>Background</h4>Accurate diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB) due to infection with Mycobacterium bovis is notoriously difficult in live animals, yet important if we are to understand the epidemiology of TB and devise effective strategies to limit its spread. Currently available tests for d...
