Review: Early life predisposing factors for biting in pigs
Animal, 2020 The pig industry faces many animal welfare issues. Among these, biting behaviour has a high incidence. It is indicative of an existing problem in biters and is a source of physical damage and psychological stress for the victims.

Cost-Effectiveness Analysis of Seven Measures to Reduce Tail Biting Lesions in Fattening Pigs
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021 Tail biting is an important animal welfare issue in the pig sector. Studies have identified various risk factors which can lead to biting incidents and proposed mitigation measures.

Approximate MAP Decoding on Tail-Biting Trellises [PDF]
, 2005 We propose two approximate algorithms for MAP decoding on tail-biting trellises. The algorithms work on a subset of nodes of the tail-biting trellis, judiciously selected.

Heritability of biting time behaviours in the major African malaria vector Anopheles arabiensis [PDF]
Malaria Journal, 2023 Background The use of insecticide-treated nets for malaria control has been associated with shifts in mosquito vector feeding behaviour including earlier and outdoor biting on humans. The relative contribution of phenotypic plasticity and heritability to

The biting rate of Aedes aegypti and its variability: A systematic review (1970-2022).
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2023 BackgroundTransmission models have a long history in the study of mosquito-borne disease dynamics. The mosquito biting rate (MBR) is an important parameter in these models, however, estimating its value empirically is complex.

Variations in household microclimate affect outdoor-biting behaviour of malaria vectors [PDF]
Wellcome Open Research, 2017 Background: Mosquito behaviours including the degree to which they bite inside houses or outside is a crucial determinant of human exposure to malaria.

Individual piglets’ contribution to the development of tail biting [PDF]
Animal, 2011 Conflicting hypotheses exist about the contribution of individual pigs to the development of a tail-biting outbreak, but there is limited quantitative information to support or dismiss them.

Malaria Journal, 2018 Background Long-lasting insecticide-treated nets and indoor residual spraying protect against indoor-biting and indoor-resting mosquitoes but are largely ineffective for early-biting and outdoor-biting malaria vectors. Complementary tools are, therefore,
