Phylogeographic Analysis of African Swine Fever Virus, Western Europe, 2018
In September 2018, African swine fever in wild boars was detected in Belgium. We used African swine fever–infected spleen samples to perform a phylogenetic analysis of the virus.

Emergence of African Swine Fever Virus, Northwestern Iran
In 2008, African swine fever was introduced into Georgia, after which it spread to neighboring Armenia, Azerbaijan, and the Russian Federation. That same year, PCR and sequence analysis identified African swine fever virus in samples from 3 dead female ...

Interpretable machine learning applied to on-farm biosecurity and porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus [PDF]
Effective biosecurity practices in swine production are key in preventing the introduction and dissemination of infectious pathogens. Ideally, biosecurity practices should be chosen by their impact on bio-containment and bio-exclusion, however quantitative supporting evidence is often unavailable.

Classification of Influenza Hemagglutinin Protein Sequences using Convolutional Neural Networks [PDF]
The Influenza virus can be considered as one of the most severe viruses that can infect multiple species with often fatal consequences to the hosts. The Hemagglutinin (HA) gene of the virus can be a target for antiviral drug development realised through accurate identification of its sub-types and possible the targeted hosts.

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.

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 ...

The main DNA viruses significantly affecting pig livestock
Swine DNA viruses have developed unique mechanisms for evasion of the host immune system, infection and DNA replication, and finally, construction and release of new viral particles.

PRRS Outbreak Prediction via Deep Switching Auto-Regressive Factorization Modeling [PDF]
We propose an epidemic analysis framework for the outbreak prediction in the livestock industry, focusing on the study of the most costly and viral infectious disease in the swine industry -- the PRRS virus. Using this framework, we can predict the PRRS outbreak in all farms of a swine production system by capturing the spatio-temporal dynamics of ...
