Experimental assessment of large mammal population estimates from airborne thermal videography

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Wildlife resource management requires reliable, fast, and affordable methods of surveying wildlife populations to develop and adaptively adjust policies. Thermal video from drones can yield high rates of detection over large areas with relative speed and safety.

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 ...

Landscape distribution and habitat use of sika deer using indirect signs of deer activity: a simple tool for forest managers

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
The populations of many deer species across Europe are widely reported to be increasing, leading to potentially greater impacts on forest ecosystems. Our understanding of factors driving the regional distribution (e.g. 1 km2 resolution) of deer populations is, however, often limited by a lack of knowledge of where deer are within the landscape.

The Relationships Between Rodent Control Efforts, Abundance, Damage, and Outcomes

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Diminishing returns on investment are a common pattern in agricultural and biodiversity conservation studies. A review shows few such studies of the effort‐outcomes relationship for rodent control efforts. It is recommended that future rodent control studies estimate such effort‐outcome relationships. ABSTRACT Rodents cause damage to agricultural crops

Badgers as a potential source of bovine tuberculosis – first studies in Poland

Annals of Agricultural and Environmental Medicine, 2018
Since 2009, Poland has been recognized as a country officially free of bovine tuberculosis (BTB). However, new outbreaks are each year quoted. In many countries it has been shown that badgers ( Meles meles ) are a vector of Mycobacterium bovis/caprae (

Updated EAACI Statement on Drug Hypersensitivity Skin Testing: Methodology and Non‐Irritative Concentrations

Allergy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT These updated EAACI guidelines aim to standardize skin testing methodologies for both immediate and non‐immediate drug hypersensitivity reactions. For immediate reactions, the optimal testing window is 4–6 weeks post‐reaction; whereas beyond 6 months, false‐negative results increase.

Bovine tuberculosis in Ethiopian local cattle and wildlife : epidemiology, economics and ecosystems [PDF]

, 2010
Ethiopia has recently been focusing on intensive dairy cattle farming in order to supply the growing demand for milk. For this purpose Holstein Frisians have been imported, bred and distributed in farms especially around Addis Ababa. However, Holstein (

Epidemiological situation of bovine tuberculosis in the State of Pernambuco, Brazil

Semina: Ciências Agrárias, 2016
The epidemiological situation of bovine tuberculosis was studied in the state of Pernambuco, Brazil. The state was divided into three regions, and a predetermined number of properties was randomly sampled in each region. In each property, females aged 24

Comparative Analysis of Three Vertebral Screw Placement Directions in Anterior Thoracolumbar Fracture Surgery: A Finite Element Study

Orthopaedic Surgery, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 1464-1477, May 2025.
This study compares the biomechanical effects of three anterior fixation systems in thoracolumbar surgery—HXTL, NHXTL, and Medtronic's CD Horizon ANTERIOR. Finite element analysis evaluates stress and displacement across vertebral bodies and support structures under varying load conditions. Results indicate the HXTL system minimizes nail–rod stress yet
