These reports cover the various counties or regions that make up the low risk area (LRA) and edge area of England.

They supplement the regional breakdowns of the official bovine tuberculosis (TB) statistics published quarterly and provide cattle keepers and other interested parties with an overview of the bovineTBsituation in their area.

The reports pull together descriptive statistics on new and ongoing bovineTBherd incidents (also referred to as breakdowns or cases) in theLRAand edge area at county or regional level, including:

• regional or county maps of the distribution of new and ongoing bovineTBherd incidents
• assessments by Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) vets and a new data driven methodology on the likely sources of infection for newTBincidents occurring in each county

In addition to these reports, theiBTB interactive mapshows the location details of current bovineTBbreakdowns and resolved breakdowns in the last 5 years in England and Wales.
