Since November 2002, the State Veterinary Service and the Veterinary Laboratories Agency have been conducting a field trial to assess the interferon-gamma test as an ancillary parallel test to the tuberculin skin test in herds with confirmed tuberculosis breakdowns. Here, Martin Vordermeier, Tony Goodchild, Richard Clifton-Hadley and Ricardo de la Rua describe the background to the trial, discuss the principle of the test and provide an update of progress so far.
