Estimating Environmental Transmission Risk From Host Movement Data

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
We present a comparative modeling framework that integrates host movement, pathogen persistence, and behavior to quantify environmentally mediated transmission. Using wild pig GPS data and SEIR simulations, we show that contact definitions significantly alter transmission dynamics, highlighting the importance of mechanistically defining indirect ...

Seroprevalence study of paratuberculosis: Johne's disease, a neglected infection in dairy herds in Apulia (southern Italy)

Veterinary Record Open, Volume 12, Issue 2, December 2025.
Abstract Introduction Paratuberculosis (PTB) is a disease caused by Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP). In Italy, voluntary PTB control plans have been implemented; nonetheless, so far, data on the prevalence of PTB in dairy herds are fragmented and incomplete, especially in the south of the country.

Bayesian evaluation of three serological tests for the diagnosis of bovine brucellosis in Bangladesh [PDF]

, 2019
We evaluated the performance of three serological tests – an immunoglobulin G indirect enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (iELISA), a Rose Bengal test and a slow agglutination test (SAT) – for the diagnosis of bovine brucellosis in Bangladesh. Cattle sera

Risk of infection of dairy cattle in the EU with highly pathogenic avian influenza virus affecting dairy cows in the United States of America (H5N1, Eurasian lineage goose/Guangdong clade 2.3.4.4b. genotype B3.13)

EFSA Journal, Volume 23, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract This opinion assesses the risk of avian influenza H5N1 B3.13 genotype virus infection in EU dairy cattle. Introduction of the virus into EU dairy cattle, poultry or wild birds via trade or migratory birds from the US is assessed as highly unlikely.

Artificial Insemination in Cattle: Efficiency, Opportunities and Challenges in Selected Districts of West Wallaga Zone, Oromia Region, Ethiopia

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 6, November 2025.
Artificial insemination (AI) technology is used on the cattle with the goal of improving the genetics of dairy cows. It was introduced in the country more than 35 years ago, and it is still used on a small scale for breeding purposes and to increase the production performance of dairy cows.
