Hunting regulations and movements of alpine reindeer

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Most ungulate populations are regulated by hunting, and harvest rate is regulated through quotas and hunting season duration. Hunting is well known to affect behaviour of ungulates, but how annual variation in quotas and hunting season duration affects individual behaviour remains uncertain.

African Swine Fever Virus: A Review

Life, 2022
African swine fever (ASF) is a viral disease with a high fatality rate in both domestic pigs and wild boars. ASF has greatly challenged pig-raising countries and also negatively impacted regional and national trade of pork products. To date, ASF has spread throughout Africa, Europe, and Asia.

Establishment of an ELISA Based on a Recombinant Antigenic Protein Containing Multiple Prominent Epitopes for Detection of African Swine Fever Virus Antibodies

Microorganisms
African swine fever virus (ASFV) poses a significant threat to the global pig industry, necessitating accurate and efficient diagnostic methods for its infection. Previous studies have often focused on a limited number of epitopes from a few proteins for

Estimating epidemiological parameters of highly pathogenic avian influenza in common terns using exact Bayesian inference

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Statistical methodology was developed to understand key processes driving avian influenza in a seabird colony. Using common tern mortality data, it was shown that bird‐to‐bird transmission dominates environmental contamination, with mortality reducing between subsequent outbreaks in 2022 and 2023. Immunity and colony density were highlighted as factors

Consumer Preferences for Gene‐Edited Foods: A Review of the Literature and Discussion of Industry and Policy Implications

Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Gene editing (GE), a revolutionary genetic engineering technology that makes targeted modifications to plant and animal genomes, offers the potential to address key challenges in food security, nutrition, safety, health, agricultural productivity, and sustainability, yet consumer demand for GE foods remains uncertain and complex.

Classifying agricultural risk management strategies: A cluster analysis approach

Canadian Journal of Agricultural Economics/Revue canadienne d'agroeconomie, EarlyView.
Abstract This study develops a comprehensive typology of farmers' risk management strategies, simultaneously considering both market‐based (e.g., insurance) and on‐farm instruments (e.g., high equity ratios). Using Partitioning Around Medoids (PAM) clustering on data collected from 228 German farmers in Saxony during 2022, we identify two distinct ...

Surveillance strategies for Classical Swine Fever in wild boar – a comprehensive evaluation study to ensure powerful surveillance [PDF]

, 2017
Surveillance of Classical Swine Fever (CSF) should not only focus on livestock, but must also include wild boar. To prevent disease transmission into commercial pig herds, it is therefore vital to have knowledge about the disease status in wild boar.
