The development of a HAMstring InjuRy (HAMIR) index to mitigate injury risk through innovative imaging, biomechanics, and data analytics: protocol for an observational cohort study

BMC Sports Science, Medicine and Rehabilitation, 2022
Background The etiology of hamstring strain injury (HSI) in American football is multi-factorial and understanding these risk factors is paramount to developing predictive models and guiding prevention and rehabilitation strategies. Many player-games are

A Honey Badger Optimization for Minimizing the Pollutant Environmental Emissions-Based Economic Dispatch Model Integrating Combined Heat and Power Units

Energies, 2022
Traditionally, the Economic Dispatch Model (EDM) integrating Combined Heat and Power (CHP) units aims to reduce fuel costs by managing power-only, CHP, and heat-only units.

Analysis of the impact of badger culling on bovine tuberculosis in cattle in the high-risk area of England, 2009-2020.

The Veterinary Record, 2022
BACKGROUND Since 2013, badger culling has been part of the UK Government's strategy for controlling bovine tuberculosis (bTB) within a high-risk area (HRA) in England.

Inferring Mycobacterium bovis transmission between cattle and badgers using isolates from the Randomised Badger Culling Trial

bioRxiv, 2021
Mycobacterium bovis (M. bovis) is a causative agent of bovine tuberculosis, a significant source of morbidity and mortality in the global cattle industry. The Randomised Badger Culling Trial was a field experiment carried out between 1998 and 2005 in the

Genomic epidemiology of Mycobacterium bovis infection in sympatric badger and cattle populations in Northern Ireland

bioRxiv, 2021
Background Bovine tuberculosis (bTB) is a costly, epidemiologically complex, multi-host, endemic disease. Pathogen whole genome sequencing can improve the resolution of epidemiological tracing.

Vaccinating badgers in a post‐cull landscape; insights from the field

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, 2023
In 2010 the BadgerBCG vaccine was licenced for use in badgers in the United Kingdom to reduce the severity of Mycobacterium bovis infection, and hence the risks of onward transmission to cattle.

A Bayesian evolutionary model towards understanding wildlife contribution to F4-family Mycobacterium bovis transmission in the South-West of France

Veterinary Research, 2022
In two “départements” in the South-West of France, bovine tuberculosis (bTB) outbreaks due to Mycobacterium bovis spoligotype SB0821 have been identified in cattle since 2002 and in wildlife since 2013. Using whole genome sequencing, the aim of our study
