As part of the work I am doing I have been creating a series of fact sheets on some of the topics related to bovine TB. Each sheet is 2-pages and aims to answer some of the key questions related to each topic. My aim is to get these uploaded to the TBhub where possible, but navigating the site to find them is not always easy. All of the fact sheets created so far can be downloaded using the links below.

If you have ideas for other topics or have questions on TB that you would like answered feel free to contact me!
