    ) of the case farms were indeed positive for PEDV. The proportion of seropositive animals from case farms was 63.7%, significantly different from that of non-case farms (4.3%, P<0.05). In both case and non-case farms, the proportion of seropositive animals... in farrow-to-finish farms was significantly higher than in wean-to-finish farms (P<0.05). Seropositive animals in non-case farms were detected by NT in a sero-survey by sampling at slaughterhouses. Therefore, subclinically infected pigs should be considered

    © 2019, Springer Nature B.V. Influenza constitutes a challenge to animal and human health. It is a highly contagious disease with wildlife reservoirs and considered as endemic among swine populations. Pigs are crucial in the disease dynamics due... to their capacity to generate new reassortant viruses. The risk of informal animal trade in the spread of zoonotic diseases is well recognized worldwide. Nevertheless, the contribution of the backyard pig trade network in the transmission of influenza in a wildlife

    Estimating the number of farms experienced foot and mouth disease outbreaks using capture-recapture methods

    of dairy farms in Chiang Mai that had experienced FMD outbreaks (FMD outbreak farm) during 2015–2016 using capture-recapture (CR) methods. Two independent FMD outbreak data sources including data from the livestock authorities and survey questionnaires were... analyzed using Chapman estimator and Chao estimator. Results showed that the estimated number of FMD outbreak farms was 264 (95% CI = 250, 277) and 273 (95% CI = 259, 292) farms based on the Chapman estimator and Chao estimator, respectively. The estimated

    Quantitative risk assessment for the introduction of bovine leukemia virus-infected cattle using a cattle movement network analysis

Remarkably, the introduction of approximately six cattle allowed at least one BLV-infected animal to be added to the farm in the worst-case scenario. These data suggest a high risk of BLV infection on farms... spreads easily without detection by farmers and veterinarians due to the lack of obvious clinical signs. Cattle movement strongly contributes to the inter-farm transmission of BLV. This study quantified the farm-level risk of BLV introduction using a

    Intervention models to solve the declining problem of swamp buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) population in Ubon Ratchathani province of Thailand

    Swamp buffalo population in Thailand has dramatically decreased in the last three decades. The present study was conducted to predict trends and future population size of swamp buffaloes and to formulate different interventions to prevent further decline and rejuvenate the existing population. The study is based on a questionnaire survey to access information regarding buffalo husbandry and marketing. Based on derived data, age-structured Leslie matrix population model was constructed to predict the population of the buffalo cows in the coming decades. Three different intervention models were subsequently proposed including Buffalo bank campaign, prohibition of slaughtering buffalo cows and the combination of these two interventions. A total of 398 farmers rearing buffaloes were interviewed and data encompassed information on 1,366 buffaloes (418 buffalo bulls and 948 cows) were retrieved. Initial buffalo cow population in Ubon Ratchathani province was estimated to be 42,766 heads. The number was projected to decline by 36% in the next ten years, with population growth rate estimated to be 0.93. The most feasible and sustainable intervention was to carry out both campaigns simultaneously. This strategy allows the slaughtering prohibition to be successful with the support from the Buffalo bank. These campaigns should be rigorously implemented to maintain this valuable livestock resource. The present model might be implemented for similar studies in different parts of the developing world.
