The GB surveillance 2015 report and the epidemiology report for England 2015 report are both commissioned by Defra and the Devolved Administrations.
There are some changes to the presentation and structure of the 2015 reports compared to the reports published in 2014.
The 2 reports are based on the same source of data used for the national statistics on bTB in cattle in Great Britain. However, because of differences in how the data is prepared for each publication, there are small discrepancies between some of the analysis. These are explained in the reports.
GB surveillance reportThis has detailed surveillance data tables and graphics about the status of bovine tuberculosis (bTB) in cattle in England, Scotland and Wales. It partly replaces the previous annual bTB surveillance reports for both England and Great Britain.
Epidemiology report for EnglandThis report describes the bTB epidemic in England and includes commentary and analyses of the different risk areas of England, in light of different intervention policies.
It incorporates detailed local knowledge of bTB in the high risk area and edge area reports and refers to the GB surveillance data report.
Report to the European Commission (EC)This is an annual report to the EC that provides an overview of the bovine TB situation in the counties of the low risk area of the North and East of England, for which an application for Officially TB Free (OTF) status is expected to be submitted in 2018.
