If we were to look at a model is that the one that would be most closely aligned to us? Ireland is damp and humid. If there is going to be TB, Ireland is the most likely location in the world to have it. It can spread because the prevailing temperature is not cold or too hot and we have a moist climate. It ticks every box when it comes to the spread of TB.
