a n=5 replicates per station. 



b Percent survival is based on the actual numbers of animals observed, as sometimes more than four 

 animals/replicate were introduced at the start of a test. 



c Samples from TB and SP and Control 1 were tested as the first batch, 

 d Samples from VA, YB, OA and Control 2 were tested as the second batch.
