“unexpected and alarming” – the longer an animal lives with TB, the more likely it is to infect others!

A buffalo with bovine tuberculosis but no worm treatments has, on average, the potential to infect about one other buffalo. This study found that after worm treatment, a buffalo with this disease had the theoretical potential to infect nine other buffalos. This difference was based on the finding that dewormed buffalo with TB can survive for years, whereas the life expectancy of untreated TB-infected buffalo was much shorter.

What they’re finally get around to saying is “dead third-worlders are likely less infectious than live ones, too. How to achieve that is tricky.”
(It’s easier when I provide the link, eh?)

  1. Seeing how TB is an air borne micro pathogen which can jump species to or from humans, I wonder how much Obumbles open border will cost ranchers in the SW.

  2. And the analogy, a dead former Gitmo resident is less likely to kill anyone than one that is released to the wild. Why being a murderous terrorist isn’t a capital offence is beyond me

  3. TUBERCULUS is animals like cow or bed bugs can carry their blood or any way blood can transimited can lead so many other to urinary tuberclousus seen blood in urine but blood test not show any bacteria culture or microbic. Tb is hidden deseas can destroy kidney gradually. Animals or human with TB need 9 month treatment with multi antibiotics then it will goes away. Treatment can used for hiv or AIDS or mobola with several antibitic attack TB can save so many cow from transmit desease by prevention gave cow antibioic and where animal keep should bugs free.

  4. Can anyone say “Unintended Consequences”. This is Natures way of culling the herd. We’ve come along and through our western liberal largesse,we’ve supported third world countries with foreign aid. Countries that 100 years ago were unable to sustain their population and as a result the population was kept in check, naturally. But by exporting massive amounts of food and material that these countries could not produce themselves we’ve upset the natural balance and the unintended consequence is that now these countries are exporting their excess.

  5. New math failed big time so with what the leftists call COMMON CORE they;ll do it again with the help of the NEA and the Leftists liberal indoctrnators
