  1. Reference areas were areas with limited culling during the former intervention study (four area study; 1997–2002); removal areas experienced intensive, repeated proactive culling during the four area study; Non-treatment areas were farms wholly outside of any former study areas, but with registered land within the county. Herd locations were taken from the Land Parcel (LPIS) dataset. Note: Not all herds entered every model, as some herds did not have full testing records for the year of the study (e.g. not farming for full duration of the study).
