Pig carcass decomposition dynamics: Insights into carcass disposal for emergency animal disease management

Australian Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Australia is free from many economically devastating emergency animal diseases (EADs) that threaten livestock production in neighbouring countries. In Australia, an important consideration for EAD control is managing susceptible feral animal populations, especially in remote and inaccessible areas where carcass disposal poses considerable logistical ...

The African Swine Fever Virus Transcriptome

Journal of Virology, 2020
African swine fever virus (ASFV) causes incurable and often lethal hemorrhagic fever in domestic pigs. In 2020, ASF presents an acute and global animal health emergency that has the potential to devastate entire national economies as effective vaccines or antiviral drugs are not currently available (according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of

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.

An attenuated African swine fever virus expressing the E2 glycoprotein of classical swine fever virus protects pigs against challenge of both viruses

Emerging Microbes and Infections
African swine fever (ASF) and classical swine fever (CSF) are highly contagious diseases with high morbidity and mortality rates resulting in an enormous impact on the global pig industry.

The E301R protein of African swine fever virus functions as a sliding clamp involved in viral genome replication

mBio, 2023
African swine fever virus (ASFV) is a complex nucleocytoplasmic, large DNA virus that infects both domestic pigs and wild boar, but little is known about the process of genomic replication. The E301R protein (pE301R) from ASFV was previously predicted as

Brucella suis in feral pigs in Australia: what is the risk?

Australian Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
In Australia, feral pigs (Sus scrofa) are the primary host for Brucella suis. The incidence of B. suis brucellosis in dogs in Queensland (QLD) and New South Wales (NSW) has increased, likely due to hunting and consumption of feral pig meat. This study aimed to update estimates of B.

Threatened synanthropes depend on intact forests: a critical evaluation of Moore et al. (2023)

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Synanthropes are known for their remarkable adaptability to coexist with humans, yet increased visibility exposes them to significant threats, such as hunting or conflict over resources. Moore et al.'s review ‘The rise of hyperabundant native generalists threatens both humans and nature’ (https://doi.org/10.1111/brv.12985) explores ...

History of ‘swine fever’ in Southern Africa [PDF]

, 2013
The histories of the two swine fevers in southern Africa differ widely. Classical swine fever (hog cholera) has been known in the northern hemisphere since 1830 and it is probable that early cases of ‘swine fever’ in European settlers’ pigs in southern

Emergence, spread, and impact of high‐pathogenicity avian influenza H5 in wild birds and mammals of South America and Antarctica

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The currently circulating high‐pathogenicity avian influenza (HPAI) virus of the subtype H5 causes variable illness and death in wild and domestic birds and mammals, as well as in humans. This virus evolved from the Goose/Guangdong lineage of the HPAI H5 virus, which emerged in commercial poultry in China in 1996, spilled over into wild birds,

Study of Genetic Progress in the Context of Disconnection Between Two Originally Connected Populations

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Genetic progress of breeding programs is highly dependent on the size of reference populations and the relatedness between reference populations and selection candidates. Many reasons can lead a population to split into several subpopulations (sanitary, physiological, political reasons, etc.).
