## Description
The Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) is seeking to identify existing and potential manufacturers and/or suppliers of field-deployable diagnostic tests for mammalian tuberculosis, including those with products currently under development or those willing to collaborate with APHA to create such solutions.
Information is required (detailed in the 'Engagement' section below) on the development status of mammalian diagnostic tests that could become available for use in 2026 or 2027. This market intelligence will support the strategy for controlling mammalian tuberculosis (particularly in badgers), improve understanding of TB epidemiology in wildlife reservoirs, and assess potential transmission risks to livestock.
At this stage, APHA is gathering market intelligence only; therefore, estimated volumes and a contract value are not provided.
