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.

Results
• Deer. Only 39 deer were recorded as alive and present in the standard broadcast area just before 1080 baiting. Of these, two died on the day of the 1080 baiting operation, indicating an estimated incidental 1080-by-kill of 5.1% (95% CI 0.9–18.7%). There were 358 incidental sightings of non-radio-collared live and dead deer (351 live, 7 dead) in the baited area after the 1080 baiting which would equate to a by-kill of 2.0%. Most sightings were from the helicopter (98.9%). The relative sighting rate of live and dead deer seen from the helicopter (excluding radio-collared deer) was 10.7 and 0.2 deer per flying hour, respectively.
