Quantifying public support for culling crown‐of‐thorns starfish (Acanthaster spp.) on the Great Barrier Reef

Conservation Science and Practice
Population surges of crown‐of‐thorns starfish (COTS) (Acanthaster spp.) are a leading cause of coral cover loss on Australia's Great Barrier Reef (GBR). While COTS culling has been undertaken since 2012 little is known about how the public perceive COTS ...

The perturbation effect in wildlife systems: an emergent property of simple models [PDF]

, 2012
Population reduction is often used as a control strategy when managing infectious diseases in wildlife populations, however it disrupts existing social structures and increases movement of infectives due to the vacuum effect, which may lead to enhanced ...

The prevalence, distribution and severity of detectable pathological lesions in badgers naturally infected with Mycobacterium bovis [PDF]

, 2008
The Randomized Badger Culling Trial (RBCT) began in 1998 to determine the impact of badger culling in controlling bovine tuberculosis in cattle. A total of 1166 badgers (14% of total)proactively culled during the RBCT were found to be tuberculous ...

Social group size affects Mycobacterium bovis infection in European badgers (Meles meles) [PDF]

, 2009
1. In most social animals, the prevalence of directly transmitted pathogens increases in larger groups and at higher population densities. Such patterns are predicted by models of Mycobacterium bovis infection in European badgers (Meles meles). 2.

Impacts of widespread badger culling on cattle tuberculosis: concluding analyses from a large-scale field trial [PDF]

, 2007
Bovine tuberculosis (TB) has re-emerged as a major problem for British cattle farmers. Failure to control the infection has been linked to transmission from European badgers; badger culling has therefore formed a component of British TB control policy ...

Bovine tuberculosis in cattle and badgers in localized culling areas [PDF]

, 2009
Bovine tuberculosis (TB) is a zoonotic disease that can have serious consequences for cattle farming and, potentially, for public health. In Britain, failure to control bovine TB has been linked to persistent infection of European badger (Meles meles ...

The duration of the effects of repeated widespread badger culling on cattle tuberculosis following the cessation of culling.

PLoS ONE, 2010
BackgroundIn the British Isles, control of cattle tuberculosis (TB) is hindered by persistent infection of wild badger (Meles meles) populations. A large-scale field trial--the Randomised Badger Culling Trial (RBCT)--previously showed that widespread ...

The effect of badger culling on breakdown prolongation and recurrence of bovine tuberculosis in cattle herds in Great Britain.

PLoS ONE, 2012
Bovine tuberculosis is endemic in cattle herds in Great Britain, with a substantial economic impact. A reservoir of Mycobacterium bovis within the Eurasian badger (Meles meles) population is thought to have hindered disease control. Cattle herd incidents,

Elucidating the Local Transmission Dynamics of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza H5N6 in the Republic of Korea by Integrating Phylogenetic Information

Pathogens, 2021
Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) virus is one of the most virulent and infectious pathogens of poultry. As a response to HPAI epidemics, veterinary authorities implement preemptive depopulation as a controlling strategy.
