Defining and testing a wildlife intervention framework for exotic disease control

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, 2022
Outbreaks of disease at the wildlife–livestock interface may require management interventions. Where they involve exotic/non‐endemic pathogens in wildlife, then such plans may need to be rapidly conceived and implemented to prevent further disease spread.

Localised Badger Culling Increases Risk of Herd Breakdown on Nearby, Not Focal, Land.

PLoS ONE, 2016
Bovine tuberculosis is an important disease affecting the UK livestock industry. Controlling bovine tuberculosis (TB) is made more complex by the presence of a wildlife host, the Eurasian badger, Meles meles. Repeated large-scale badger culls implemented

Spatial and Temporal Distribution of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Complex Infection in Eurasian Badger (Meles meles) and Cattle in Asturias, Spain

Animals, 2021
The present work investigated the prevalence, spatial distribution, and temporal distribution of tuberculosis (TB) in free-ranging Eurasian badgers (Meles meles) and cattle in Asturias (Atlantic Spain) during a 13-year follow-up.

Interspecific visitation of cattle and badgers to fomites: A transmission risk for bovine tuberculosis?

Ecology and Evolution, 2019
In Great Britain and Ireland, badgers (Meles meles) are a wildlife reservoir of Mycobacterium bovis and implicated in bovine tuberculosis transmission to domestic cattle. The route of disease transmission is unknown with direct, so‐called “nose‐to‐nose,”

Protective Effect of Oral BCG and Inactivated Mycobacterium bovis Vaccines in European Badgers (Meles meles) Experimentally Infected With M. bovis

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2020
In Europe, badgers (Meles meles) are recognized as major tuberculosis (TB) reservoir hosts with the potential to transmit infection to associated cattle herds.

Altitude shapes the environmental drivers of large‐scale variation in abundance of a widespread mammal species

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Aim Habitat quality and heterogeneity directly influence the distribution and abundance of organisms at different spatial scales. Determining the main environmental factors driving the variation in species abundance is crucial to understand the ...

Species composition of Trichinella in domestic and wild animals in Bulgaria [PDF]

Bulgarian Journal of Veterinary Medicine, 2019
Four Trichinella species cause trichinellosis in Europe: Trichinella spiralis, Trichinella britovi, Trichinella nativа and Trichinella pseudospiralis. The aim of our study was to determine the prepon-derance of Trichinella species in Bulgaria.

Abundance of badgers (Meles meles) in England and Wales

Scientific Reports, 2017
The European badger (Meles meles) is of considerable interest in the UK as it is both a protected species and the main wildlife reservoir for bovine tuberculosis infection in cattle. While there have been three national badger surveys in the 1980s, 1990s

Model of Selective and Non-Selective Management of Badgers (Meles meles) to Control Bovine Tuberculosis in Badgers and Cattle.

PLoS ONE, 2016
Bovine tuberculosis (bTB) causes substantial economic losses to cattle farmers and taxpayers in the British Isles. Disease management in cattle is complicated by the role of the European badger (Meles meles) as a host of the infection.

Serine 89 Phosphorylation Controls Nuclear Localization and Transcriptional Activity of ARID3B

Cells
Transcription factors that control stem cell programs are central drivers of cancer progression, metastasis, and therapy resistance. ARID3B, a DNA-binding protein overexpressed across multiple tumor types, expands the cancer stem cell population by ...
