Probabilistic genetic identification of wild boar hybridization to support control of invasive wild pigs (Sus scrofa)

Ecosphere
The rapid expansion of wild pigs (Sus scrofa) throughout the United States has been fueled by unlawful introductions, with invasive populations causing extensive crop losses, damaging native ecosystems, and serving as a reservoir for disease.

A gene expression atlas of the domestic pig [PDF]

BMC Biology, 2012
This work describes the first genome-wide analysis of the transcriptional landscape of the pig. A new porcine Affymetrix expression array was designed in order to provide comprehensive coverage of the known pig transcriptome. The new array was used to generate a genome-wide expression atlas of pig tissues derived from 62 tissue/cell types.

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

American 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

A study to demonstrate freedom of Trichinella spp. in domestic pigs in Switzerland [PDF]

, 2010
Trichinellosis is a food-borne zoonotic disease caused by the nematode Trichinella spp. Many omnivorous and carnivorous animal species can act as host for this parasite, including domestic pigs.

Community partner perspectives on community‐academic health research partnerships with Black American communities: A scoping review

American Journal of Community Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Evaluations of community‐engaged research (CEnR) typically emphasize health outcomes rather than the partnership processes that contribute to intervention effectiveness. This scoping review synthesized community partner‐identified strategies for successful community‐academic health research partnerships with Black American communities and ...

Revisiting paravertebral muscles in European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) and European brown hares (Lepus europaeus) (Leporidae; Lagomorpha)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Domesticated European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) have long been chosen as laboratory model organisms. Despite this, there has been no definitive study of the vertebral musculature of wild rabbits. Relevant descriptions of well‐studied veterinary model mammals (such as dogs) are generally applicable, but not appropriate for a species ...

Can public-domain datasets be leveraged to identify factors associated with the occurrence of African swine fever in europe?

Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica
Background African swine fever (ASF) is a highly contagious and deadly viral disease affecting domestic pigs and wild boars. This study uses public domain datasets to identify the association between (a)biotic variables and occurrences of ASF in domestic
