African Swine Fever Status in Europe [PDF]

Viruses, 2019
African Swine Fever (ASF) is a highly contagious disease that affects the domestic pig and wild boar population. The aim of this study was to describe the introduction and spread of the ASF virus in Western Europe (1960–1995) and in Eastern Europe (2007–2018), with particular emphasis on the current ASF situation in Poland and its challenges and future

African swine fever virus enhances viral replication by increasing intracellular reduced glutathione levels, which suppresses stress granule formation

Veterinary Research
African swine fever virus (ASFV) is a DNA virus that has significantly impacted the global swine industry. Currently, there are no effective therapies or vaccines against ASFV.

A novel treatment of biogas digestate waste for biochar production and its adsorption of methylene blue and malachite green in a binary system

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract This study presents a novel treatment of biogas digestate to produce biochar at processing temperatures of 500–700 °C. The resulting biochar was applied for the simultaneous removal of methylene blue (MB) and malachite green (MG) in a binary system.

Hunting motivations, behaviour and forest access: Characterising wildlife hunting practices in a multi‐ethnic, forested landscape of Brunei Darussalam, Southeast Asia

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Unsustainable hunting practices can alter population dynamics, driving biodiversity declines, which leads to ‘empty forests’. Understanding hunting behaviour, including motivations for hunting and relationships with market drivers, and access to hunting grounds are important to develop affirmative policies to stem biodiversity loss.

Swine fever and African swine fever [PDF]

, 1969
PIGS may become infected by viruses which also cause disease in other animals (for instance foot-and-mouth disease) but there are two virus diseases worthy of special mention because they cause clinical disease in pigs ...

The untapped potential of camera traps for farmland biodiversity monitoring: current practice and outstanding agroecological questions

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Through a systematic literature review, we show that camera traps (CTs) have been underutilised for farmland biodiversity monitoring. The few existing farmland‐based CT studies focused on local‐level management issues, such as disease transmission between wildlife and livestock, crop damage and use of artificial feeders and water troughs by wildlife ...

A Pool of Bacterium-like Particles Displaying African Swine Fever Virus Antigens Induces Both Humoral and Cellular Immune Responses in Pigs

Vaccines
Background/Objectives: African swine fever (ASF), caused by African swine fever virus (ASFV), poses a significant threat to the global swine industry. This underscores the urgent need for safe and effective ASF vaccines.

The spatial ecology of free-ranging domestic pigs (Sus scrofa) in western Kenya [PDF]

, 2013
Background In many parts of the developing world, pigs are kept under low-input systems where they roam freely to scavenge food. These systems allow poor farmers the opportunity to enter into livestock keeping without large capital investments.

Lessons learned and lingering uncertainties after seven years of chronic wasting disease management in Norway

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is well known among cervids in North America. Nevertheless, management faced different types and degrees of uncertainty when CWD was first detected in reindeer Rangifer tarandus in Nordfjella, Norway in 2016. We present a timeline of the efforts to control CWD, and identify how the process, measurement, environmental, and ...
