Abstract:
... Newly arrived pests and diseases pose a continuous threat to agriculture and the environment, and there are limited resources available for early detection programs. We formulate an optimal resource-allocation framework for early detection. The approach is based on the principles of portfolio theory although, unlike standard portfolio theory and its previous applications to biosecurity problems, r ...

Abstract:
... This paper responds to claims that smallholders in the UK farming landscape present a biosecurity threat to commercial farming, by exploring smallholders' perspectives on animal health and their practising of biosecurity, studied through focus group research in England. Biosecurity in animal agriculture has emerged as a key research theme, with attention paid to how biosecurity is both conceptuali ...

Stridulations were elicited with a white light beam in a dark environment and recorded with an ultrasonic microphone. Acoustic responses were consistent, and, when compared with sounds produced under stressful conditions (i.e. physical stim ...

Intranuclear inclusion bodies were found in the epithelia of the trachea, associated with marked necrotic tracheitis. An Aviadenovirus was isolated in chicken eggs and characterized genetically with 99% identity to the fowl Aviadenovirus A, as based on the hexon protein gene. Th ...

Abstract:
... Currently, many strategies have been developed to improve the visible light photocatalytic ability of TiO₂. Most of the strategies, such as doping, dye sensitization, formation of heterojunctions, use of a co-catalyst, and preparation of black TiO₂, involve the introduction of new substances into pristine TiO₂, which may cause new concerns about biosecurity of the new substances. Additionally, mos ...

This study designed and assessed a portable system to reactively treat biofouling in the internal pipework of recreational vessels – a high-risk ‘niche area’ for NIS that is difficult to access and manage. A novel thermal treatment apparatus was optimised in a s ...

Biosecurity programs provide for intervention at various stages of the invasion process in order to mitigate the invasion problem. While preventing initial arrival of non-native insect species is a sound approach, ...

Abstract:
... Species in the grass family (Poaceae) have caused some of the most damaging invasions in natural ecosystems, but plants in this family are also among the most widely used by humans. Therefore, it is important to be able to predict their likelihood of naturalisation and impact. We explore whether plant height is of particular importance in determining naturalisation success and impact in Poaceae by ...

Abstract:
... In modern livestock farming, there is an increasing understanding that antimicrobial (AM) consumption must be kept low – preferably without compromising animal welfare or productivity. This requires an understanding of the relationship between AM use, productivity, biosecurity, vaccination and herd demographics. To obtain this, we undertook an Additive Bayesian Network analysis using data from 201 ...

Abstract:
... Previously published equine temperature ranges often fail to state the population of animals or the method of temperature measurement used to establish the range. An inappropriate reference range can negatively affect the interpretation of measurements, resulting in animals being misdiagnosed. A yard-specific equine rectal temperature reference range was therefore calculated. A total of 652 rectal ...
