Understanding the links between environmental and wildlife elemental concentrations is key to help assess ecosystem functions and the potential effects of legacy pollutants. In this study, livers from 448 European badgers (Meles meles) collected acro...

A study of tuberculosis in road traffic-killed badgers on the edge of the British bovine TB epidemic area (2018)
Journal Article
Sandoval Barron, E., Swift, B., Chantrey, J., Christley, R., Gardner, R., Jewell, C., …Bennett, M. (2018). A study of tuberculosis in road traffic-killed badgers on the edge of the British bovine TB epidemic area. Scientific Reports, 8, Article 17206. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-018-35652-5

The role of badgers in the geographic expansion of the bovine tuberculosis (bTB) epidemic in England is unknown: indeed there have been few published studies of bTB in badgers outside of the Southwest of England where the infection is now endemic in...
