This study examines how intensive culling methods affect movement and contact behaviors in wild pigs, with implications for disease spread.

This study predicts wild pig movement across their range using displacement distributions and habitat selection analysis to inform landscape-scale management.

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.

The paper compares the efficiency of population control methods for managing wild pigs during a foreign animal disease outbreak, finding aerial operations most cost-effective despite high initial investment.

The paper simulates a TAD control effort in wild pigs to identify operational challenges and propose solutions for rapid population reduction during a hypothetical outbreak.

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.
