Figure 1

Location of Gloucestershire, Somerset and Dorset intervention areas licensed in 2013 and 2015 and comparison areas. Culling and comparison areas are symbolised by solid circles. OTF-W is Officially Tuberculosis Free Withdrawn, which is where M. bovis has been detected through post-mortem tests in at least one animal in the herd. OTF-W incident density is from 2013 and was created using the spatial analyst kernel density tool within ArcGIS 10.0. Boundaries to the High Risk Area and Edge Area are those that were in place in 2013. Comparison areas removed from analysis due to overlapping intervention areas licensed in 2015 and 2016 are shown as hatched circles. Circles show the location of intervention and comparison areas but do not approximate actual shape and size.
