In December 2015, an outbreak of bovine Tuberculosis (TB) was detected in four herds of deer and cattle in the Mt. Cargill area near Dunedin, New Zealand. The outbreak posed a significant threat to New Zealand’s livestock industry, which had seen a substantial reduction in TB cases due to a $1.2 billion control effort in previous years. OSPRI, through its TBfree programme, swiftly identified possums as the primary vector responsible for the outbreak. To combat the spread of TB, OSPRI launched extensive possum control operations and utilized remote sensing and GIS technology to efficiently target these efforts. Accurate landcover efforts andtical in identifying possum habitats, optimizing control efforts, and minimizing resource wastage. OSPRI employed WorldView-2 satellite imagery processed by Digital Globe and manual digitization of national datasets to create detailed landcover maps. These maps guided ground-based pest management strategies, significantly enhancing the efficiency and accuracy of the TB eradication efforts.
