Hunting regulations and movements of alpine reindeer

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 2, March 2026.
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.

Advances in research on the efficacy of traditional Chinese herbal medicine in combating African swine fever

Animal Diseases
African swine fever (ASF) is a highly contagious disease of domestic and wild pigs caused by African swine fever virus (ASFV). The mortality rate associated with ASF is remarkably high, almost approaching 100%. Since the introduction of ASF into China in

Epidemiology and control of african swine fever in Senegal : from farm surveys to national network [PDF]

, 2007
African Swine Fever (ASF) is considered to be enzootic since 1957 in Senegal where the population of pigs is concentrated in the catholic areas of the country (South-West).

Fenced Out… and Fenced In? Containing Cats in the Borderlands of Zealandia

New Zealand Geographer, Volume 82, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT ‘Containing’ companion cats within property boundaries is a possible method to protect native species and promote cat welfare. We explore the more‐than‐human relations associated with cat containment in the area surrounding the Zealandia ecosanctuary.

Evolutionary characteristics, influencing factors of livestock and poultry meat production in China and its future trends

Animal Research and One Health, Volume 4, Issue 1, Page 94-104, February 2026.
By reviewing the development history, this study summarizes the main factors and corresponding pathways that affect the evolution of meat production in China from both internal and external perspectives. Based on this, we predict future development trends.

Reconciling dynamic epidemiological models with long‐term outbreak data: The case of classical swine fever in Germany

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Understanding the complex interplay between contact networks in social host species and individual movement decisions is essential for designing effective disease control strategies in wild animals. We use a spatially explicit eco‐epidemiological individual‐based model to investigate the effect of host movement decisions on disease spread and ...

Direct Detection of Viruses Using Antibody‐Modified Gold Nanorods

Journal of Biophotonics, Volume 19, Issue 2, February 2026.
Gold nanorods functionalized with pathogen‐specific antibodies can be used for the confirmatory detection of viruses via dynamic light scattering–based analysis of particle sizes.ABSTRACTSeasonal and sporadic viral infections put enormous burdens on global health and society.

Reemergence of African Swine Fever in Zimbabwe, 2015

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2017
Zimbabwe is the only country in southern Africa with no reported African swine fever (ASF) outbreaks during 1993–2014. However, the 2015 discovery of genotype II ASF virus in Zimbabwe indicates the reemergence of ASF in this country and suggests that ...

Spatio‐temporal patterns and risk factors of wild boar–pig farm contact across Europe

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 2, February 2026.
Our results highlight the need to incorporate wild boar spatio‐temporal behaviour and farm context into strategies aimed at reducing contact at the wild–domestic pig interface. While physical barriers and avoiding unintentional feeding remain essential, targeted measures during high‐risk periods, such as night‐time surveillance in summer and autumn ...

Impact of hunting modality on social contacts in wild boar populations across Europe

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 1, January 2026.
Our study showcases how hunting disturbance influences social contact rates in a group‐living wild mammal. Along with other biotic and abiotic drivers, hunting modality plays a significant role in shaping intra‐group, but not inter‐group, contacts. Reduced group cohesion induced by drive hunts could negatively impact survival, foraging efficiency and ...
