There are more, of course, and if you look in the NZ document =
mentioned you will find that some of the ADC positive animals they =
mention are mentioned in such a way that it sounds like perhaps some =
of them came to one NZ farm already infected from a Scottish ferret =
fur farm (though certainly there already were infected NZ ferret fur =
farms.
