Abstract BACKGROUND Blackbird ( Icteridae ) damage to ripening sunflower Helianthus annuus L.) has been a persistent economic issue in the USA for last five decades. To quantify losses, we surveyed blackbird from 2001 2013 (excluding 2004) physiologically mature eight states: North Dakota, South Texas, Nebraska, Minnesota, Colorado, Kansas, and Vermont. RESULTS We pooled data gathered during most recent 5 years (2009 2013) of survey found losses averaged $US2.5 million $US11.3 confectionery...

Rabies is an economically important zoonosis. This paper describes the extent of economic impacts disease and some types analyses used to understand those impacts, as well trade-offs between efforts manage rabies eliminate it. In many cases, elimination proves more cost-effective over time than continual administration postexposure prophylaxis, animal testing vaccination. Economic are inform drive policy decisions focus political will, placing economics at heart control.La rage est une...

The global economic impact of canine rabies has been estimated by several studies. Asia bears a disproportionate burden this zoonosis due to high levels human deaths and rates post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP), but low investment in preventative dog vaccination. same factors that cause much are also present Viet Nam. This study the societal perspective including direct indirect cost dogs, livestock, humans. Using data collected from personal interviews, published literature, supplementary...

Abstract The aim of this study is to provide a general overview the economic impacts associated with vertebrate invasive species (VIS) in United States and suggests methodology for differentiating types damage. We identify framework categorizing VIS damage that separates into three main categories: destruction, depredation, disease. then examine how fits current published estimates management costs. Economic feral swine are plentiful enough warrant separate treatment from other observed all...
