| Abstract: | Abstract The Government has designated the control of possums and bovine Tb a National Science Strategy (NSS) research area. An NSS Committee has been appointed by the Ministry of Research Science and Technology, commissioned to “identify, coordinate and promote national priorities for possum and tuberculosis (Mycobacterium bovis) related research in order that threats both to New Zealand's export markets and to conservation values can be eliminated”. |
