Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This article presents the results of the analysis of the epizootic situation for bovine tuberculosis and indicators of the frequency of non-specific reactions of bovine to tuberculin in the Republic of Tatarstan in the period from 2010 to 2019. It was found that during the study period, the maximum number of primary tuberculosis-affected localities was registered in 2013, and since 2017, the territory of the Republic is still free of tuberculosis. On average, 2400 non-specific reactions are detected per year. There are also cartograms of the spread of tuberculosis and occurring of non-specific tuberculin reactions, which show that the main number of such reactions is registered geographically in the same zones where tuberculosisaffected localities are located.
