Before pasteurisation of milk (1935) and compulsory testing
(1950) bovine TB (bTB) was a recognised cause of death in humans.
In cattle, emaciation due to lung disease was common. The testing
programme reduced the incidence of disease in cattle to very low
levels by the late 1970s, but there remained a persistent level of
disease in the South West.
