Risk Assessment on Cattle Ticks and Tick Fever

The June 2005 Report on the West Tick Fever Inquiry included a recommendation that a technical review of the potential use of cattle tick fever vaccine be undertaken.

A further recommendation was that a risk assessment be undertaken to assess the risk of cattle ticks being spread if livestock were permitted to travel from the Queensland Cattle Tick Infected and Protected Areas direct to slaughter in NSW.

Mr Matt Playford undertook the review and a copy of the document is avialable below.
