▼ The introduction of FMD into the US would have serious economic and societal effects on the livelihoods and sustainability of affected livestock producers. Livestock producers serve as an important line of defense in both detecting an introduction of FMD as well, helping to prevent
disease spread. However, due to the complexity of moral, social, and economic issues surrounding the control of highly contagious diseases, producer cooperation during an outbreak may not be assured. This study was conducted using a mixed-methods approach, including qualitative analysis of interviews and quantitative analysis of a postal survey, in order to explore the factors likely to influence producer cooperation in FMD detection and control in Texas.
Reporting of cattle with clinical signs of FMD in the absence of an outbreak was related to producers´ beliefs about the consequences of reporting, beliefs about what other producers would do, trust in agricultural agencies, and their perception of the risk posed by FMD. During a hypothetical outbreak, intentions to report were determined by beliefs about the consequences of reporting, and perception of the risk posed by FMD. Intentions to gather and hold cattle when requested during an outbreak were determined by beliefs about the consequences of gathering and holding, beliefs about barriers to gathering and holding, trust in other producers, and perception of the risk posed by FMD. Compliance with
animal movement restrictions was determined by experiential attitudes, beliefs about the availability of feed, space, and disinfection procedures, beliefs about what other producers would do, and perception of the risk posed by FMD.
Recommendations for improving producer cooperation include targeting specific beliefs in both planning and communication, increasing transparency in the post-reporting process, planning for and communicating plans for maintaining business continuity in order to better inform risk perception, and partnering with organizations to ensure sustained and meaningful communication that supports trust between producers within the affected agricultural community.

▼ U.S. equine veterinary practitioners will likely be responsible for the detection and reporting of a
foreign animal disease (FAD) incursion, such as African horse sickness (AHS), into the U.S. On-line continuing education is one method of increasing awareness about FADs among equine veterinarians by providing a consistent message that can be conveniently accessed by most veterinarians. Two major types of on-line continuing education include webinar and text formatted modules. An on-line educational assessment study for equine veterinarians was developed to determine baseline knowledge of AHS as well as the effectiveness of webinar versus text formatted education modules. The results from this study imply that the participants were not initially prepared to recognize and report a suspect case of AHS. Additionally, the webinar and text formatted modules were equally effective in educating the equine veterinarians about AHS. The low voluntary participation rate in the study implies that on-line continuing education is not currently the best method for preparing equine veterinarians in the U.S. for an FAD outbreak. If equine veterinarians become more willing to participate in on-line education based on the new requirements for accreditation, or if incentives/penalties are used to promote on-line continuing education participation, this continuing education method may become more accepted by U.S. equine veterinarians in the future.

▼ Classical swine fever virus (CSFV) is an enveloped,
positive strand RNA virus, and member of the genus Pestivirus. It
is a highly infectious and transmissible swine pathogen that
threatens the global swine industry. The United States has been
free of CSFV since 1977, however, monitoring the millions of
domestic and feral pigs present in the US puts a significant strain
on national surveillance efforts. There are no validated diagnostic
techniques that can simultaneously sample multiple pigs (i.e. all
pigs in a pen or barn). Similarly, there are no validated
serological assays that can quickly test for CSFV without
cross-reacting with other pestiviruses. The purpose of the first
study was to establish a moderate CSFV-infectious model and
determine how a single oral fluid sample from a pen of pigs can
function as a diagnostic sample for detecting CSFV. Oral fluid (OF)
and serum samples were collected from 10 pigs experimentally
infected with CSFV Paderborn strain. Using RT-PCR, CSFV was
detected in OF on 8 days post infection (dpi), and in the serum of
one pig on 6 dpi. A single OF sample can, therefore, take the place
of 10 serum samples to detect CSFV in a population. In a second
study, monoclonal antibodies reactive to CSFV glycoproteins were
generated in mice immunized with recombinant E2 and Erns antigens.
Five E2-specific clones and two Erns-specific clones showed
reactivity to CSFV-infected. Epitope mapping of the E2 clones
showed that all reacted with the N-terminal portion of E2; a region
highly variable among pestiviruses. Together with OF sampling,
monoclonal antibodies can be used to develop new tools for
improving CSF surveillance in large swine populations.

▼ Communication is an integral part of emergency
response, and improving the information dissemination network for
crisis communication can save time, resources, and lives. This
thesis focuses specifically on emergency response to a
foreign
animal disease (FAD) outbreak, an incident in which an
animal
disease that is not active domestically is introduced and being
spreading in the U.S. In a FAD outbreak, timeliness of detection
and response are critical. An outbreak of foot-and-mouth
disease, a
particularly significant FAD, could cripple the agriculture economy
and every hour of poor communication could result in the loss of
thousands of animals. Improving this and other such crisis
communication networks is of high importance. There is a
comparatively large amount of prior research that critiques past
catastrophic events but very little that aims to quantitatively
improve such networks.
This research uses communication data from
a FAD response exercise in Kansas to develop a reliable network
model, contributing a general method for creating an information
dissemination network from empirical communication data. The thesis
then introduces a simulated annealing heuristic to alter the
network structure, reducing the overall information transmission
time by almost 90%. Both the application of simulated annealing in
network design and the use of discrete event simulation to
calculate the heuristic objective function are new contributions to
the field of crisis communication and emergency response.
This
work begins by extracting data from communication logs, grouping
the large numbers of stakeholders into more manageable clusters,
and developing a simulation model framework that accurately depicts
the flow of information in the actual network. Then a simulated
annealing heuristic is used to alter the network structure. The
goal is to identify an alternative network structure in which the
time for information to reach all response participants is
minimized. The resultant network structures are analyzed to reveal
observations and recommendations for FAD response communication.
This research finds that not only can such a network be improved
significantly, but the quantitative results support the qualitative
observations from early in the data extraction process. This paper
adds original methods to the literature and opens the door for
future quantitative work in the area of crisis communication and
emergency response.

▼ Over the past few decades,
animal and public health
professionals have become increasingly concerned about the global
animal population’s vulnerability to Transboundary
Animal Diseases
(TADs). Through analysis of the lessons learned by the United
Kingdom (UK), Taiwan, and Egypt in responding to FMD outbreaks in
their countries, it becomes apparent that even with response plans
in place at the time of an outbreak, problems still arose as the
outbreaks progressed. To better understand why these deviations
from the planned course occur, the concept of “disconnects” in the
various “domains” of TAD emergency preparedness and response were
explored for the United States (U.S.). Particular emphasis was
placed on issues related to the collaboration and cooperation
between the federal and state levels of government. The domains of
communication, knowledge, and resourcing were selected to be
analyzed due to their importance in TAD emergency outbreak
preparedness and response.
The research questions this thesis
explores concern three domains of TAD emergency preparedness and
response that experience disconnects between federal and state
levels of government. They also explore how these disconnects
affect Food and Agriculture Security in the U.S. Three different
methods were used to research these topics. Literature reviews of
lessons learned and after action reports from TAD outbreak
exercises and real events were conducted. Direct observations of
the author’s experiences at conferences, seminars, and training
events were also included. Finally, personal interviews were
conducted with Food and Agriculture Security experts.
Through this
analysis, numerous disconnects emerged in each of the domains.
Several disconnects traverse all three domains. These disconnects
related to laboratory collaboration with the federal government,
the process of declaring a federal emergency, and the roles and
responsibilities of individuals and groups involved in TAD outbreak
preparedness and response. Overall, the disconnects affect the
ability of state and federal governments to rapidly respond to and
coordinate response efforts. This affects Food and Agriculture
Security by compromising the safety, security, and ongoing
operation of the food and agriculture sector. Further study will be
needed to alleviate these disconnects so that better cooperation
and collaboration can occur between federal and state levels of
government.

▼ Contagious Bovine Pleuropneumonia (CBPP), caused by Mycoplasma mycoides
mycoides small colony (MmmSC), is a devastating respiratory
disease of cattle in Africa,
Asia and the Middle East. Little investigation has been done on molecular
disease
pathogenesis and host response beyond soluble cytokine detection. This study developed
and characterized models for three strains of MmmSC of varying severity. Strains used
were Gladysdale, Ondangwa and Shawawa. Samples of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid,
bronchial biopsy, nasal epithelial cells and blood were obtained prior to and at weekly
time points post-infection. Microarray analysis of RNA extracted from samples revealed
host cellular pathways and genes important in the pathogenesis of CBPP, including
multiple immune system and inflammatory response pathways. A number of pathways
whose influence on
disease pathogenesis was not immediately clear were also activated,
including pathways involved in amino acid synthesis, fat metabolism, and endocrine
hormone responses. Microarray results were confirmed with real-time polymerase chain
reaction (RT-PCR) of selected genes. Comparative RT-PCR analysis of selected genes between the three strains of MmmSC revealed genes possibly responsible for differential
strain virulence, including interleukins 1B, 6, 8, and 18 and the gene nuclear factor of
kappa light polypeptide gene enhancer in B cells inhibitor, alpha (NFKBIA). A similar
analysis of selected genes between survivors and nonsurvivors of the virulent Gladysdale
strain of MmmSC suggested genes involved in survival, including interleukin 8,
calmodulin 2 (CALM2), and NFKBIA. Avenues of additional study were identified.

▼ The last outbreak for Foot and Mouth
Disease (FMD) in
the United States (U.S.) was in 1929. Since that time the U.S. has
not had any exposure to the
disease or vaccination, creating a very
susceptible livestock population. The central U.S. has a large
susceptible livestock population including cattle, swine, sheep,
and goats. The impact of FMD in the U.S. would be devastating.
Simulation modeling is the only avenue available to study the
potential impacts of an introduction in the U.S.
Simulation
models are dependent on accurate estimates of the frequency and
distance distribution of contacts between livestock operations to
provide valid model results for planning and decision making
including the relative importance of different control strategies.
Due to limited data on livestock movement rates and distance
distribution for contacts a survey was conducted of livestock
producers in Colorado and Kansas. These data fill a need for region
specific contact rates to provide parameters for modeling a
foreign
animal disease.
FMD outbreaks often require quarantine,
depopulation and disposal of whole herds in order to prevent the
continued spread of the
disease. Experts were included in a Delphi
survey and round table discussion to critically evaluate the
feasibility of depopulating a large feedlot. No clearly acceptable
method of rapidly depopulating a large feedlot was identified.
Participants agreed that regardless of the method used for
depopulation of cattle in a large feedlot, it would be very
difficult to complete the task quickly, humanely, and be able to
dispose of the carcasses in a timely fashion.
Simulation models
were developed to assess the impact of livestock herd types and
vaccination on FMD outbreaks in the central U.S. using the North
American
Animal Disease Spread Model (NAADSM), a spatially
explicit, stochastic state-transition simulation model. Simulation
scenarios with large vaccination zones had decreased outbreak
length and number of herds destroyed. Vaccination did not provide
additional benefit to control compared to depopulation alone when
biosecurity and movement controls were high, however the ability to
achieve high levels of biosecurity and movement control may be
limited by labor and
animal welfare concerns.

▼ The U.S. agriculture industry is diverse and dynamic,
plays a vital role in the nation’s economy, and serves as a
critical component in providing the global food supply. Agriculture
has and always will be susceptible to threats such as pests,
disease, and weather, but it is also threatened by intentional acts
of agroterrorism.
One specific area of concern is
foreign animal
diseases (FAD) and the danger these diseases create for the U.S.
livestock industry. Whether a
disease outbreak is intentional or
accidental, it could devastate
animal agriculture and the food
infrastructure and have a lasting impact on state, national, and
global economies. One of the most economically devastating diseases
that raise fear and anxiety in the livestock industry is foot and
mouth
disease (FMD).
A number of administrative, regulatory, and
legislative actions have been implemented at state and federal
levels designed to protect the agriculture industry and to prevent,
prepare for, and respond to an accidental or intentional
introduction of an FAD. However, the consistency, clarity, and
long-term commitment of these policy approaches remains in
question.
Effective policy decisions require a multidisciplinary
approach that consider and balance science, economics, social
factors, and political realities. A significant number of policy
analysis tools exist and have been applied to
animal emergency
scenarios but few actually address the complexity of these policy
dilemmas and provide information to policymakers in a format
designed to help them make better decisions. Policy development
needs to take a more multidisciplinary approach and better tools
are needed to help decision makers determine the best policy
choices.
