"Necessarily stringent licensing conditions" mean many TB-affected areas of England will remain ineligible for such culling, they say.
TB-drug programme which is, admittedly, being run by several different groups as though it were the project of a single drug company.
Simple, low-cost measures, such as regular TB-testing for people living with AIDS, are where investment has the most impact on saving lives.
The government has previously said the cull of badgers is necessary as part of a "science-led" programme to tackle TB - which has been devastating to farmers.
During a recent interview in San Antonio, as Ms. Jimenez received a TB-drug infusion at the TB hospital, she described how all five of her children living with her became infected as well, stirring up resentments.
The results showed that culling badgers - a natural reservoir for bovine TB - did reduce the incidence of disease in cattle within the trial area, but that infection rates increased in the surrounding countryside as badgers were displaced.
According to the government's own bovine-tb-impact-assessment, the public costs of carrying out the cull exceed any money saved from predicted falls in bovine TB (an average 16% reduction in new cases over nine years - in absolute figures, this amounts to preventing 47 out of 292 infected herds, for an area about half the size of the Gloucestershire pilot zone).
From their analysis, the WHO team estimated there were 424, 000 cases of multidrug-resistant TB world-wide in 2004.

For confirmed XDR-TB, in which the bacterium is resistant to the most potent first- and second-line TB medicines, the WHO recommends that a proper combination of any medicine left among those available, dictated by knowledge of susceptibility, should be used.

Nepal reported more than 35, 000 TB cases in 2011, and 2.9% of new and 12% of previously-treated TB cases are multidrug-resistant, according to WHO data.
Paul Sommerfeld, chairman of TB Alert, which campaigns to raise the profile of the disease, said concerted action was needed to tackle the problem of TB world-wide.
Each node has 2-8 Xeon 5650 processors providing 6-48 coes and up to 768 GB of RAM, 1.3 TB of Fusion-io ioDrive PCIe flash cards and a mid-layer of up to 1.2 TB of Intel SSD storage.

XDR-TB is a particularly dangerous form of the disease that is resistant not only to the two most potent TB drugs, but also a handful of second-line drugs.
The critical watt-per-TB metric will further improve over time as the helium-filled drive platform enables significantly higher drive capacities in future product generations.

Barrister Anna Watterson spoke of how she became ill with drug-resistant TB when she was a law student living in north-west London.
But it's a potential public health catastrophe with the new strain called XDR-TB, for extensively drug resistant tuberculosis.
Taking into account the extra capacity coming from two additional disks, the improvement in watts-per-TB is 45 percent.
ENGADGET: HGST develops helium-filled, high-capacity hard drives: no, they won't float away
India has about 2.2 million of the estimated 8.7 million total TB patients world-wide, the most of any country.
The number of laboratory-confirmed cases of MDR-TB around the world has gone from 12, 000 in 2005 to 62, 000 in 2011.
Treatment options for XDR-TB are limited and can themselves be toxic.
And that's why people like Lawrence Gostin are rethinking what public health authorities should do about people with suspected XDR-TB in the weeks before the diagnosis is in.
In the treatment of patients, the WHO recommends that testing be done to determine to what medications the bacteria are sensitive and that the regimen for a known case of MDR-TB must include at least five agents belonging to different families of drugs.
