A project to test badgers, that have died in road accidents, for bovine TB in Cheshire has found that the disease could be more widespread than previously thought. Scientists at the University of Liverpool began testing badgers at the start of this year. So far they have results for 40 badgers and ten of them have tested positive for the disease. Cheshire is on the edge of a TB hot spot area and is one of 11 areas highlighted by Defra to receive funding to vaccinate badgers in an attempt to stop the spread of the disease.
