The role of vehicle movement in swine disease dissemination: novel method accounting for pathogen stability and vehicle cleaning effectiveness uncertainties [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
The transmission dynamics of infectious diseases in animal production are driven by several propagation routes. Contaminated vehicles traveling between farms have been associated with indirect disease transmission. In this study, we used transportation vehicle data to analyze the magnitude of farm visits by different vehicles and to propose a ...

Origins, Dispersal, and Impact: Bidirectional Introgression Between Chinese and European Pig Populations

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study investigates bidirectional introgression between Chinese and European pig populations, revealing 3558 introgressed genomic segments and 30 structural variations. Analysis of the BMP2 region suggests its role in body size enhancement. By integrating ancient and modern genomes, the study highlights the impact of introgression on genetic ...

A little less aggregation a little more replication: Viral manipulation of stress granules

WIREs RNA, Volume 14, Issue 1, January/February 2023., 2023
Viruses depend entirely on host machinery and therefore aim to conquer the host and defeat its defenses to co‐opt its resources for its own replication. Improved understanding of how viruses counteract host immune responses such as stress granule assembly, detailed here, will inform future antiviral therapeutic strategies.

Exporters' reaction to positive foreign demand shocks [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
I use the quasi-natural experiment of the 2018 African swine fever (ASF) outbreak in China to analyze swine exporters' reaction to a foreign market's positive demand shock. I use the universe of Spanish firms' export transactions to China and other countries, and compare the performance of swine and other exporters before and after the ASF.

Enhancing Prime Editing Efficiency Through Modulation of Methylation on the Newly Synthesized DNA Strand and Prolonged Expression

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Prime editors (PEs) enhance gene editing precision but face repair mechanism limitations. DNA methylation (CpG sites) and de novo methyltransferases (DNMT3A/DNMT3B) boost PE efficiency. We developed an episomal PE system (epiPE) using EBNA1/oriP to sustain expression and methylation.

Value similarity and trustworthiness predict support for waterfowl management policy

Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 46, Issue 5, December 2022., 2022
Perceptions of value similarity and trustworthiness between an affected public and a wildlife agency influence policy support. Results show significant positive relationships among value similarity, trustworthiness, and policy support that have implications for the social feasibility of management policy.
