Thread: TB In Hawkes Bay

Possums aren't the only source of spreading TB, Ferrets, stoats etc are a major factor too. I remember a case many years ago in the South Island when TB reactors kept popping up and the possum numbers were virtually non existent, after a lot of head scratching managers figured it out when eventually they caught a ferret riddled with TB. Once control work was carried out on them the reactor numbers reduced.
