Simulating the next steps in badger control for bovine tuberculosis in England.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2021
Industry-led culling of badgers has occurred in England to reduce the incidence of bovine tuberculosis in cattle for a number of years. Badger vaccination is also possible, and a move away from culling was "highly desirable" in a recent report to the UK ...

OntoLogX: Ontology‐Guided Knowledge Graph Extraction From Cybersecurity Logs With Large Language Models

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
OntoLogX is an autonomous AI agent that uses large language models to transform unstructured cyber security logs into ontology grounded knowledge graphs. By integrating retrieval augmented generation, iterative correction, and a light‐weight log ontology, OntoLogX produces semantically consistent intelligence that links raw log events to MITRE ATT & CK

Pathogenesis of Mycobacterium bovis Infection: the Badger Model As a Paradigm for Understanding Tuberculosis in Animals

open access: yesFrontiers in Veterinary Science, 2018
Tuberculosis in animals is caused principally by infection with Mycobacterium bovis and the potential for transmission of infection to humans is often the fundamental driver for surveillance of disease in livestock and wild animals.

Causal analysis of trade loss from pathogens: A global study of foot and mouth disease impacts on meat exports

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Our general interest is in global trade loss from livestock pathogens, specifically exports. We adopt a causal inference approach that considers animal disease outbreaks over time as non‐staggered binary treatments with the potential for switching in (infection) and out of treatment (recovery) within the sample period. The outcome evolution of

Badger culling pilots

open access: yesVeterinary Record, 2013
I WOULD like to explain the role of the Independent Expert Panel (IEP) in the badger culling pilots.The IEP was established to help ministers evaluate the effectiveness (in terms of the numbers of animals removed), humaneness and safety of shooting badgers in the two pilot areas.

Assessing the effects of the first 2 years of industry‐led badger culling in England on the incidence of bovine tuberculosis in cattle in 2013–2015

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2017
Culling badgers to control the transmission of bovine tuberculosis (TB) between this wildlife reservoir and cattle has been widely debated. Industry‐led culling began in Somerset and Gloucestershire between August and November 2013 to reduce local badger

Climate and seed mass drive intraspecific variation in seed longevity in storage

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Conservation seed banks are essential for ex situ plant conservation, but stored seeds slowly deteriorate and lose viability. Seed longevity in storage is determined by the initial seed viability and the rate of seed viability loss. The rate of seed viability loss in storage varies between species and possibly between populations or ...

Assessing Farmer Confidence in Badger Vaccination: Some Findings from a Survey of Cattle Farmers in England

open access: yesJournal of Rural and Community Development, 2014
Bovine tuberculosis (bTB) is a complex animal disease affecting farmed cattle and badgers in England and Wales. In England, vaccination of either cattle and/or wildlife is seen as an important long-term policy to help reduce the impact of bTB.
