Progress in politics and science often happens by serendipity, and an unforeseen effect of the 2001 foot and mouth epidemic will be its impact on bovine tuberculosis in three areas. Cattle TB will be much worse, increasing the risk to public health, and ‘the highly emotive and complex issue’ of badgers and TB may be resolved after 30 years controversy. A critical reappraisal of these three areas is worthwhile.
