Zusammenfassung:	This chapter presents some of the historic epidemiological data on the epidemiology of in cattle, including the life history of infection and routes of transmission of within herds, data from unmanaged herds endemically infected with bovine tuberculosis, the implications of these data for the likely patterns of transmission of infection within herds, recent analyses of transmission in managed herds in the UK and the role that infection in sympatric wildlife populations has for both the inference of patterns of transmission within cattle populations and the prospects for control.
