[QUOTE="NickWallingford, post: 10597, member: 44"] I agree, but would just hope that bkprs recognise the toolbox potential of these methods. And acknowledge the rigour of peer review, rather than seemingly passing it all off as a passing fad or sycophantic fancy. Spore testing can readily audit whether adequate steps are being taken to deal to a disease outbreak. The spore number differences involved are very much [I]not small[/I] - the spore counts that should concern us all are readily differentiated from any 'background' numbers of AFB spores. Spore counts were used primarily in a diagnostic role in years past, and the test was often a culturing process. With some of the results I am seeing in current research, spore testing for its predictive capability could be a real game changer if we are truly interested in eliminating AFB. [/QUOTE]
