The latest thoughts from The Yorkshire Vet Julian Norton
In 2022, in contrast to how it would have been 1992, it didn’t cross my mind to perform a viral test on little Skippy, the cat found in a skip. .
Eventually, it seemed there were just not enough cattle and sheep left alive in the UK to allow transmission of the acutely infectious virus. Ironically, the mass cull of cattle in 2001 to try to control the Foot and Mouth Disease outbreak had a bonus effect on another disease: it was the final nail in the coffin of Brucellosis.The biennial blood and milk testing of every breeding bovine over two years old had seen the number of cases fall steadily during the 1990s.
Poultry farmers can keep their birds indoors for ever, but as long as wild birds can fly, an infectious disease affecting our feathered friends will surely never be controlled in this way. It was just the same when us humans were instructed to stand two metres away from each other whilst queuing outside the supermarket. Or even inside the supermarket, for that matter.Meanwhile, birds become sick, test positive, get culled or die.
