Abstract:

Prof Anita Michel of the Department of Veterinary Tropical Diseases in the Faculty of Veterinary Science strongly doubts that there is a single buffalo herd in the nearly two million hectares of the Kruger National Park (KNP) that does not have bovine tuberculosis (BTB). For the past 20 years, Prof Michel and her colleagues spearheaded BTB research. Despite significant progress in the research, Prof Michel notes a considerable spread of the disease over the past two decades.
