Potential ecological and epidemiological factors affecting the persistence of classical swine fever in wild boar Sus scrofa populations
1. Classical swine fever has increased in economic importance since it has become endemic in some wild boar Sus scrofa populations in Europe. The mechanism of disease persistence is still not well understood, and several aspects of both the ecology of boar and the virus are claimed to be responsible for disease persistence. 2. We review literature on the spread and persistence of the disease in...

متن کاملDemographic buffering and compensatory recruitment promotes the persistence of disease in a wildlife population
Demographic buffering allows populations to persist by compensating for fluctuations in vital rates, including disease-induced mortality. Using long-term data on a badger (Meles meles Linnaeus, 1758) population naturally infected with Mycobacterium bovis, we built an integrated population model to quantify impacts of disease, density and environmental drivers on survival and recruitment. Badger...
متن کاملHost Resistance, Population Structure and the Long-Term Persistence of Bubonic Plague: Contributions of a Modelling Approach in the Malagasy Focus
Although bubonic plague is an endemic zoonosis in many countries around the world, the factors responsible for the persistence of this highly virulent disease remain poorly known. Classically, the endemic persistence of plague is suspected to be due to the coexistence of plague resistant and plague susceptible rodents in natural foci, and/or to a metapopulation structure of reservoirs. Here, we...
متن کاملMathematical tools for planning effective intervention scenarios for sexually transmitted diseases.
BACKGROUND We studied the dynamics of sexually transmitted diseases in structured populations, deriving analogies from the theory of metapopulations. GOAL The goal was to study the impact of potential interventions, such as reducing the probability of transmission (e.g., by condom use), reducing the duration of infectiousness (e.g., by early diagnosis and treatment), or reducing the number of...
