These reports contain results from the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA)听TB聽surveillance in hotspots of TB in the Low Risk Area of England.

The Low Risk Area of England is an area with low and stable numbers of herds infected with聽TB. Hotspots are defined as areas where there are a group of breakdowns from an uncertain origin that need further investigation through enhanced cattle and wildlife surveillance.

Before 1 January 2024, areas were referred to as 鈥榩otential鈥� or 鈥榗onfirmed鈥� hotspots, depending on whether infection had been identified in wildlife populations. This has now changed. APHA is now managing hotspots in 鈥榮tages鈥� covering cattle, and where relevant, wildlife. Further detail of how this is managed will be released in due course.聽
