Following an open competition, the Animal and Plant Health
Agency (APHA) has awarded a contract to Eville & Jones,
to run veterinary field trials of CattleBCG vaccine and the
companion DIVA (Detecting Infected amongst Vaccinated
Animals) skin test.
Eville & Jones have brought together an experienced
team to deliver the project.
APHA will now start to work with Eville & Jones and
the project team to confirm timelines and identify
suitable herds for the field trials scheduled to start
next year.
The field trials will be conducted on behalf of Defra,
the Welsh Government and the Scottish Government,
following more than 20 years of ground-breaking
research into bovine TB vaccines and diagnostic tests.
Further information about the next stages of the field
trials will be communicated in due course.
