Figure 3.

Locations, estimated area in hectares and dates when possums with tuberculosis were first found in New Zealand, until 1980 (from Anonymous 1976, 1978; Adlam 1977; Batcheler and Cowan 1988), together with the type of possum control undertaken during the period 1972–1980. Information collated by PG Livingstone from a range of internal MAF reports. The information contained in this Figure uses GIS mapping and therefore provides an accurate representation of the area where infection was found during the period 1967–1980.
