Food limitation is a universal stressor for wildlife populations and is increasingly exacerbated by human activities. Anthropogenic environmental change can significantly alter the availability and quality of food resources for reservoir hosts and …
The intensive harvesting of hosts is often the only practicable strategy for controlling emerging wildlife diseases. Several harvesting approaches have been explored theoretically with the objective of lowering transmission rates, decreasing the …
We describe a customisable agent-based modelling tool that allows users to plan free-roaming dog population management and rabies vaccination strategies.
Wildlife disease management is vital but challenging due to complex host population dynamics. We have developed a novel modeling tool that can help managers better understand complex disease dynamics & thereby implement effective control strategies …
We have developed a modeling framework to support the design of efficient disease surveillance programs for wildlife populations. The constituent agent-based models can incorporate real-world heterogeneities associated with disease distribution, …
Epidemiological surveillance for important wildlife diseases often relies on samples obtained from hunter-harvested animals. A problem, however, is that although convenient and cost-effective, hunter-harvest samples are not representative of the …
*Baylisascaris procyonis* is a nematode of significant concern to public and domestic animal health as well as wildlife management. The population genetics of *B. procyonis* is poorly understood. To gain insights into patterns of genetic diversity …
