Torque Teno Sus Virus 1: A Potential Surrogate Pathogen to Study Pig-Transmitted Transboundary Animal Diseases

X. Li, B. Parker, R. Boughton, J. Beasley, T. J. Smyser, J. Austin, K. Pepin, R. S. Miller, K. C. VerCauteren, S. M. Wisely

The paper assesses Torque teno sus virus 1 as a surrogate pathogen for studying transmission dynamics in wild pigs, finding high prevalence, genetic variability, and patterns of direct transmission.

What is Known, Unknown, and Needed to be Known about Damage Caused by Wild Pigs

K. C. VerCauteren, K. Pepin, S. Cook, S. McKee, A. Pagels, K. Kohen, I. Messer, M. P. Glow, N. Snow

This study reviews wild pig damage assessments, identifies gaps in standardization, and recommends frameworks for quantifying damage and linking it to population density to improve management strategies.

An efficient method of evaluating multiple concurrent management actions on invasive populations

A. J. Davis, R. O. Farrar, B. Jump, P. T. Hall, T. Guerrant, K. Pepin

The paper develops a method to assess the effectiveness of multiple concurrent management actions on invasive species using removal data, showing that removing 15% of the population monthly has a 95% chance of causing a population decline.

Variation in host home range decreases rabies vaccination effectiveness by increasing the spatial spread of rabies

K. M. McClure, A. T. Gilbert, R. B. Chipman, E. Rees, K. Pepin

This study shows that variation in raccoon home range size increases rabies spread and reduces vaccination effectiveness by affecting disease dynamics and vaccine delivery strategies.

Optimal spatial prioritization of control resources for elimination of invasive species under demographic uncertainty

K. Pepin, T. Smyser, A. Davis, R. Miller, S. McKee, K. VerCauteren, C. Slootmaker

This study shows that optimal resource allocation for invasive species control depends on connectivity structure, damage function, and observational uncertainty, with improved monitoring being most beneficial under moderate budgets.
