Abstract Scavenging of carrion shapes ecological landscapes by influencing scavenger population demography, increasing inter- and intra-specific interactions, generating ecosystem services such as nutrient cycling disease moderation. Previous research found the cues promoting, or constraints limiting, an individual’s propensity ability to scavenge vary widely, depending on anthropogenic environmental factors. Here we investigated differences in scavenging patterns a complex guild...

Anthrax is a serious zoonosis caused by Bacillus anthracis, which primarily affects wild herbivorous animals with spillover into humans. The disease occurs nearly worldwide but poorly reported in Southeast Asian countries. In Vietnam, anthrax underreported, and little known about its temporal spatial distributions. This paper examines the spatio-temporal distribution epidemiological characteristics of human livestock from Dien Bien province, Vietnam 2010 to 2019. We also aim define role...

ABSTRACT. Anthrax, caused by Bacillus anthracis, has a nearly global distribution but is understudied in Southeast Asia, including Vietnam. Here, we used historical data from 1999 to 2020 Ha Giang, province northern The objectives were describe the spatiotemporal patterns and epidemiology of human livestock anthrax compare vaccine coverage with incidence. Annual incidence rates (per 10,000) for humans, buffalo/cattle, goats explore comparison annual variations. A subset describes humans...

Landing on an aircraft carrier is a difficult maneuver involving aircraft, moving deck, and complex arresting system that stops the plane in less than four seconds. Furthermore, modeling of landing gear due to interactions between many complicated, nonlinear subsystems. Capturing these essential providing realistic simulation can be used for pilot training detailed design analysis. SDI Engineering has developed GearSim, software tool, recently adapted it simulations. This program contains...

Anthrax is a priority zoonosis for control in Vietnam. The geographic distribution of anthrax remains to be defined, challenging our ability target areas control. We analyzed human cases Vietnam obtain incidence at the national and provincial level. Nationally, trendline remained ≈61 cases/year throughout 26 years available data, indicating efforts are not effectively reducing disease burden over time. Most occurred Northern Midlands Mountainous regions, provinces Lai Chau, Dien Bien, Lao...

Environmentally mediated indirect pathogen transmission is linked to host movement and foraging in areas where pathogens are maintained the environment. In case of anthrax, spores causative bacterium Bacillus anthracis released into environment following death create locally infectious zones (LIZs) around carcass sites; by grazing at LIZs, herbivores potentially exposed spores. Here, we used camera traps assess how ungulate species use sites southwestern Montana evaluated these behaviours...
