The Low Risk Area of England is an area with low and stable numbers of herds infected with 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 바카라 사이트potential바카라 사이트 or 바카라 사이트confirmed바카라 사이트 hotspots, depending on whether infection had been identified in wildlife populations. This has now changed. APHA is now managing hotspots in 바카라 사이트stages바카라 사이트 covering cattle, and where relevant, wildlife. Further detail of how this is managed will be released in due course.
