New Zealand is proud to host the Fifth International M.bovis Conference.
New Zealand has had a long history of M.bovis infection in cattle,
and latterly deer, herds. This has been largely driven by wild animal
infection, primarily possums. New Zealand has been able to control
its Tb problem through the targeted control of these infected wild
animal populations. Another crucial element of New Zealand’s success
has been the active involvement of farmers, along with industry support.
We welcome you to our beautiful country, and look forward to your
participation in this conference.
