	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/02/2017 answer text <p>Since 2009 Defra has spent £15 million on oral badger vaccine development, using BCG (the attenuated strain of Mycobacterium bovis used worldwide to vaccinate people against TB). The Animal and Plant Health Agency has identified palatable bait and practical field deployment strategies. The immunity conferred by oral vaccination of badgers with BCG tends to be more variable than that resulting from the injectable formulation of the vaccine. Therefore, current studies are focusing on producing a safe, effective and affordable vaccine which provides consistent protection when eaten by badgers.</p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 28/02/2017 09:40:50 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/02/2017 answer text <p>BCG (the attenuated strain of Mycobacterium bovis used worldwide to vaccinate people against TB) remains the only viable option at present for vaccination of cattle against TB.</p><p> </p><p>The Animal and Plant Health Agency (formerly Animal Health and Veterinary Laboratory Agency) has shown a protective effect of BCG in cattle and developed delivery regimes for cattle. However, a DIVA test to differentiate vaccinated from infected animals must also be developed, as vaccination with BCG can interfere with the diagnostic tests routinely used to identify TB-infected cattle. APHA has developed such a test and further studies are ongoing to determine whether this will be suitable for use in the field. Once this has been determined, cattle vaccine field trials could be taken forward.</p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 28/02/2017 09:44:16 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice
