▼ The population increase and spread of feral swine across the United States is of increasing concern to producers, land managers, the common public, and government. Feral swine carry harmful diseases, cause extensive damage to property, and are opportunistic omnivores that will eat anything. This study explores how mass media coverage and aspects of the cognitive hierarchy influence the specific lethal management action of a toxicant usage to control feral swine. A content media analysis was conducted to observe how the media portrays the toxicant Kaput across different time periods and news platforms. Statistical analysis revealed that a little over half of the articles were published following four major events which included, a) approval of 'Kaput' as a state-limited-use pesticide in Texas b) restraining order against the use of 'Kaput' c) the passing of a bill requiring strict scientific study of any further toxicant before release in Texas, and d) the withdrawal of 'Kaput' in the state of Texas. An additional analysis revealed the most discussed themes within the articles including a) the use of a toxicant as a management tool to control feral swine b) the mention of the toxicant containing a Warfarin base, and c) challenges regarding the toxicant as being species-specific. The majority of these articles were either negative or neutral, mostly describing the toxicant and then explaining the faults in its use. This resulted in the toxicant being pulled off of the market. In addition to the content media analysis, a wildlife survey was mailed out to 200 urban residents and 200 rural residents from each of the 50 United States to measure individuals' wildlife value orientations, general beliefs toward feral swine, and their support or opposition of the use of poison to kill feral swine. The overall response rate was 11%. Statistical analysis revealed that negative attitudes toward feral swine and a domination wildlife value orientation were key identifiers of support for a toxicant lethal management action of feral swine (p < .05). The opposite was determined with a non-significant value for a mutualism value orientation, opposing the use of a toxicant. As wildlife managers and government agencies continue efforts to mitigate damages and manage feral swine, the value orientations and attitudes of the public should be taken into consideration. The lethal management action chosen should reflect the public's value orientations and attitudes to have an accepted management technique suitable to control feral swine as well as support the public.

▼ The population increase and spread of feral swine across the United States is of increasing concern to agricultural producers, land managers, and government. Feral swine cause extensive damage to property, carry several diseases, and are generalist that will eat anything. This study explores how aspects of the cognitive hierarchy and demographics influence management preferences and willingness to pay for management. Extension offices at Land-Grant Universities participated in a survey of limited resource farmers. The overall response rate for the offices that were able to provide such information was 46%. Statistical analysis revealed that a domination wildlife value orientation, negative attitudes toward feral swine, and income had an effect on respondents' support for all five management actions (hunting, hunting with the assistance of dogs, aerial sharpshooting, trapping and removing, and the use of poison) inquired about (p < .05). A mutualism wildlife value orientation and gender had an effect for two of the management actions (p < .05) and age had no effect on any actions. The amount farmers were willing pay for feral swine management on their lands was analyzed for two groups of farmers; those who had feral swine on their land and did not want them and those who did not have feral swine and wanted to continue to have none. Those with feral swine on their land were more willing to pay to manage feral swine. The amount farmers were willing to pay for both groups was influenced by gender, a negative attitude toward feral swine, and a domination wildlife value orientation. A mutualism wildlife value orientation also had an influence; however, income and age did not. As landowners and government agencies continue efforts to manage feral swine and mitigate the damages they cause the preferences of the landowners should be taken into account. The management actions chosen should reflect the actions supported by farmers in conjunction with cost considerations. If farmers are unwilling or unable to pay for management, then less costly yet also supported management strategies will need to be formulated.

▼ Feral swine are a nuisance species across the United States that costs around $1.5 billion each year in agricultural, environmental, and personal property damages. In the last ten years the population of feral swine is estimated to have quadrupled and novel population control methods are needed. Furthermore, feral swine are known carriers of zoonotic diseases such as brucellosis, which threatens both livestock biosecurity and public health. Recombinant multimeric gonadotropin-releasing hormone (mGnRH) has been previously used as a subunit vaccine to induce immunocontraception in feral pigs. However, potent adjuvants and large amounts of purified antigen are needed to elicit a robust anti-GnRH immune response and current delivery methods are limited. Brucella suis strain VTRS2 can be used as a novel platform to deliver mGnRH without the use of antibiotic resistant markers. Strain VTRS2 was created by deletion of the LPS biosynthesis gene wboA as well as the leuB gene required for leucine biosynthesis inside the nutrient-depleted intracellular environment occupied by Brucella. Mutations in wboA are known to attenuate Brucella strains such as the vaccine strain B. abortus RB51, however strain RB51 is rifampin resistant and has poor efficacy in swine. Strain VTRS2 confers significant protection against B. suis challenge in mice and additionally shows evidence of protection in feral swine. Furthermore, the mGnRH antigen can be delivered using the pNS4 plasmid (which expresses leuB under its native promoter) thus maintaining the plasmid in strain VTRS2 under leucine-deficient conditions while expressing recombinant antigen in the host. The murine model was used to determine the clearance kinetics of strain VTRS2-mGnRH and to measure vaccine efficacy against challenge by virulent B. suis 1330. Subsequently the effects of the VTRS2-mGnRH vaccine on fertility were assessed in breeding trials in mice. Strains VTRS2 and VTRS2-mGnRH were found to be protective against virulent Brucella suis challenge. Strain VTRS2-mGnRH elicited an anti-mGnRH antibody response in vaccinated mice, though an effect on fertility was not observed. An improved vaccine against brucellosis in swine, which also confers immunocontraception without the introduction of antibiotic resistance, could become an important tool in the management of this nuisance invasive species.

▼ Interest in bottomland hardwood forests (BLHW) ecology and restoration has increased over the past 40 years. These communities aid in water quality improvement, streambank stabilization, and urban expansion mitigation. They also provide important habitat for many species of wildlife. Since the majority of remaining BLHW are degraded due to land fragmentation, restoration attempts are becoming commonplace within the Western Gulf Coastal Plain. However, restoration success has been mixed, with managers observing survival rates of <15% for desirable species due to various factors. Over two growing seasons, I investigated multiple factors that have potential to limit BLHW restoration success in East Texas. Specifically, I tested the impacts of herbivory by white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) and feral swine (Sus scrofa) on Nuttall oak (Quercus texana Buckley), Shumard oak (Q. shumardii Buckley), bur oak (Q. macrocarpa Michx.), and pecan (Carya illinoinensis K. Koch) at BLHW restoration sites at four study areas in east Texas. I also tested the effectiveness of portable electric fences and individual tree shelters in protecting seedlings from herbivory. Herbivory was not the major contributor to seedling mortality, but where it occurred, all protected areas demonstrated higher survival (x̅ = 17%) than non-fenced areas (x̅ = 9%). Feral swine were the major contributors to herbivory, while white-tailed deer did not cause notable amounts of seedling mortality. In areas of high white-tailed deer density, prominent browsing was evident, resulting less growth after two years in non-fenced (x̅ = 2.3 cm) and electric fenced (x̅ = 4.3 cm) plots compared to high fence (x̅ = 13.0 cm) and individual tree shelters (x̅ = 24.2 cm). In addition to seedling survival and growth, we observed reduced survival rates (<10%) on sites that were inundated more than 40 days during the growing season. Matching species of interest to the site conditions, specifically local hydrologic regimes, should carry a higher priority in planning a restoration project within BLHW in the Western Gulf Coastal Plain.

▼ A series of experiments was performed with the objective of creating a system to exclude feral animals from calf creep feeders. The first experiment evaluated three different electronic sensor systems for accuracy of identifying calves attending a mobile creep feeder. Efficacy of sensor placement for active RFID rumen technologies was evaluated. Fifty seven post-weaning calves were stratified by weight and randomly assigned by to three pastures, each containing a single creep feeder outfitted with one of several combinations of electronic sensor technologies. All calves were also administered an active RFID rumen bolus. Creep feeders 1 and 3 were equipped with three active RFID readers, one on the left side of the feeder, one on the right, and one suspended on a post on the center of the feeder. Creep feeder 2 was equipped with the same configuration of active RFID readers, as well as one directional RFID reader, and one large size passive RFID panel reader. Each feeder was also equipped with ultrasonic sensor systems, although due to equipment failures these systems did not produce any results. Active RFID data was collected for 25 d, passive RFID data was collected for 4 d, and video cameras recorded the same 4 d, for evaluation of accuracy of active and passive data. This data was analyzed to find accuracy of passive RFID sensor technology, maximum gap in receptions for each active RFID sensor configuration, and also to determine any general improvements to each system. It was determined that the passive RFID system was able to detect 87% of calf entries into the feeder. It was also found that the average of the highest amount of time between active RFID message receptions between all receivers was 0:07:140:06:47 (h:mm:ss) during a congregation where calves were physically present at the feeder. Data from this study suggests that active RFID bolus transmitters may be suitable for identification of calf attendance at creep feeding sites. The second experiment evaluated electronic controlled systems for exclusion of feral animals from cattle creep feeders. Forty-five suckling calves were bolused with active rumen bolus RFID transmitters, stratified by weight and randomly assigned to three pastures. Feeder design treatments consisted of a back opening door design, an up opening door design, and a completely open control feeder evaluated in a 3x3 Latin square treatment structure. Calves were adapted to the creep feeders during a 23 d adaptation period during which calves had access to all 3 creep feeder designs, followed by three 21 d periods during which the creep feeders were rotated between pastures. Parameters measured included feed disappearance. The back and up opening feeders were fitted with RFID receivers and data storage devices. This data was used to evaluate calf attendance parameters between the two door designs over each 21 d period. Additionally, 24 hr of video data from every feeder each period was used to compare attendance paramaters between all three feeder designs. A significant feed disappearance…

▼ Feral pigs (Sus scrofa) are considered to be among the world’s worst invasive species due to their successful invasion and ecological and economic impact to native and agricultural plants and animals around the world. Feral pigs are significant disturbance agents that destroy plant communities, change soil characteristics, alter nutrient cycling, and create open sites for colonization of both native and non-native plant species through their foraging behavior called rooting. In contrast to native animal disturbances, rooting is a striking feature in the landscape that varies in space, seasonal timing, frequency (number of times rooted), and intensity (depth of rooting). During this study, feral pigs rooted 7.7% of the search area, which increased to 12% when abandoned patches (baseline patches that were not rooted during this study) were included. Overall, feral pigs rooted and re-rooted habitats along roads and trails significantly more than wetlands. Rooting also varied temporally with the most rooting occurring during July-November, which also corresponds to the peak in rooting intensity. Implications to land managers include avoiding the installation of roads and trails near wet to mesic habitats or other habitats that contain species of concern in order to conserve habitat quality and recreational value. Despite less rooting activity, feral pigs still pose a significant threat to wetlands as evidenced by the large amount of abandoned patches documented. In order to conserve natural areas, effective management and development of efficient control methods is needed to keep feral pig populations in check. As a large opportunistic omnivore, feral pigs have the potential to be important vectors for endozoochorus seed dispersal of a variety of plant species. Feral pigs can travel long iv distances and have a gut retention time up to 49 hours, therefore seeds can be deposited throughout the landscape far from the parent plant. Over the course of this study, feral pigs dispersed 50 plant species from a wide range of ecological and morphological characteristics, though the majority were native, small seeded, wetland species. For most plant species, location of deposition matched their habitat preference and suggests a high probability of survival. Feral pigs disperse mainly wetland plant species, which has important implications for wetland conservation. However, feral pigs also deposited unwanted species into wetlands and predated the seeds of important wetland canopy tree species. Advisors/Committee Members: Jenkins, David.

O Javali (Sus scrofa scrofa) é uma espécie com ampla distribuição mundial e presente no Brasil. No Rio Grande do Sul, nos últimos anos, aumentaram os relatos de ataques e prejuízos causados pela presença de javalis asselvajados, sendo seus impactos negativos observados na degradação da vegetação nativa e água de superfície, na predação sobre a fauna e pecuária, e na possibilidade de transmissão de doenças para humanos e animais. A localização destes animais de vida livre e os possíveis fatores associados à sua presença são de extrema importância para a Gestão Ambiental e de Saúde Animal, uma vez que estes animais podem assumir um importante papel na introdução e disseminação de doenças para a pecuária gaúcha. Um estudo foi realizado nos anos de 2012 e 2014 no Estado do Rio Grande do Sul visando identificar possíveis fatores associados à presença destes animais de vida livre junto às propriedades de suínos de subsistência e apresentar uma análise espacial para identificar possíveis aglomerados da presença destes animais no Estado. As propriedades amostradas no estudo foram propriedades de suínos de subsistência, que apresentam uma menor tecnificação e biosseguridade quando comparada com as propriedades comerciais, o que pode facilitar essa interação. Foi utilizada uma amostragem proposital, onde foram selecionadas 640 propriedades em cada ano, primeiramente destinada para comprovar a ausência de atividade do vírus da Peste Suína Clássica nos criatórios do Rio Grande do Sul. Um questionário epidemiológico foi aplicado nas propriedades amostradas a fim de caracterizar e identificar as que apresentam relatos da presença de javalis asselvajados e elencar os possíveis fatores associados a sua presença. De todas as 640 propriedades amostradas, em 63 (9,8%) os proprietários relataram a possível presença de suínos asselvajados. Para análise dos fatores associados, foi utilizado um modelo de regressão de Poisson com variância robusta. No modelo final, os fatores associados à presença de javalis asselvajados foram: ter suínos criados próximos a reservas naturais (RP=2,29; IC 95% 1,10- 4,75), criação extensiva de suínos (RP=2,63; IC 95% 1,59- 4,34), ter criação de híbridos de javalis e suínos (RP=2,37; IC 95%1,09-5,19), criações de javalis na propriedade (RP=3,22; IC 95% 1,21- 8,58) e tamanho da propriedade em Km²(RP=0,54; IC 95% 0,26-1,11). Através da análise espacial foi possível identificar aglomerados de relatos da presença destes animais nas regiões sul e nordeste do Estado. Com esse estudo, espera-se dar auxilio do ponto de vista teórico a gestores públicos na implantação de políticas de saúde animal e de conservação que visem mitigar os possíveis riscos da interface animais de produção e vida selvagem.

▼ ‘Go Slow’ myopathy (GSM) is an idiopathic myopathy in dogs in New Zealand, characterised by an acute onset of trembling, weakness and collapse, followed by a prolonged period of exercise intolerance. In the first part of this thesis, the epidemiology of the disease was investigated using a telephone survey to obtain information regarding the diet, exercise, and health of affected dogs. Eighty-six confirmed cases were included in this study, and ingestion of wild pig in the week prior to the onset of clinical signs was a consistent finding (76/86 dogs; 88%; 95% confidence interval = 82 – 95%). Cases occurred most commonly in the upper North Island, particularly in Northland. The aim of the second part of this thesis was to characterise the pathology of GSM in the same 86 dogs included in the epidemiological study, using serum biochemistry (78 dogs), histology (20 dogs), and electron microscopy (4 dogs). Acutely, affected dogs had increased serum creatine kinase and aspartate aminotransferase activities, corresponding with the histological finding of skeletal muscle degeneration in the absence of inflammation. Ultrastructural changes in skeletal muscle included mitochondrial hypertrophy, intramitochondrial inclusions and increased sarcoplasmic glycogen. Similar lesions were observed in the skeletal muscle of wild pigs from areas where GSM occurred in dogs. Affected dogs also had increased serum alanine aminotransferase activities due to accumulation of lipid and glycogen in hepatocytes. Overall, the microscopic findings were consistent with a toxic myopathy. To further investigate the pathogenesis of the disease, liver samples were collected from 15 affected dogs and 24 clinically normal dogs for untargeted metabolic profiling using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Comparison of spectra between affected and normal dogs revealed a widespread decrease in phospholipids, and increases in selected dicarboxylic acids and N-acetylated branch chain amino acids in affected dogs. No causative compounds were identified although several candidate mass spectrometric features were identified for future investigation. Taken together, the results of these studies suggest that ‘Go Slow’ myopathy is a toxic mitochondrial myopathy in dogs that is associated with the ingestion of wild pork. The findings reported aid in the prevention, diagnosis, and management of cases, with the primary suggestion being that owners avoid feeding wild pork in areas where the myopathy occurs. Further work is required to elucidate the cause of this disease.

▼ In the United States, concern has arisen regarding the potential introduction of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD), a foreign animal disease, and its subsequent spread by feral swine populations into domestic livestock. Feral swine are ideal candidates to potentially spread FMD, because they are free ranging with sizeable home ranges, frequently contact domestic livestock, have high fecundity and populations are expanding geographically throughout the United States. Feral swine surveillance is becoming a solution to safeguard and mitigate the potential for feral swine to transmit FMD to domestic livestock (e.g., cattle, pigs, and sheep). The potentially devastating economic impacts were evidenced by the economic impact of FMD in the UK and Taiwan (FAO, 2009; Yang et al., 1999). It has been estimated that if FMD were to enter the U.S. the economic losses would be $14 billion (Paarlberg et al., 2002). Such large potential losses are an example of the important economic contribution that livestock production makes to the larger U.S. economy. The objective of this research is to analyze the farm level impacts of alternate surveillance systems in feral swine in the event of a FMD outbreak in Kansas. Specifically, a disease spread model is used to model and evaluate the spread of FMD in Kansas. Output from the disease spread model is incorporated into a partial equilibrium model to determine the changes in prices. The change in prices for grains and livestock are then used to evaluate the farm level impacts in Kansas using whole farm budgets. Results obtained from the disease spread model indicate that under no surveillance the largest amount of animals are destroyed, 2,599,419, with a duration of 193 days. Under twice per month surveillance, 2,555,768 animals are destroyed and the outbreak lasts 189 days. Once per week surveillance shows that 2,585,666 animals are destroyed and the duration lasts 192 days. The NAADSM results for Kansas show that the states livestock industry could potentially face large livestock losses from feral swine transmitting FMD. The impacts to the average farms in Kansas show that producers with a large amount of livestock, in particular swine, see the biggest percentage changes in net income levels. This would be expected as pig and hog prices decrease once the FMD outbreak occurs and return to base levels in quarter four showing that there is a loss in swine prices from a FMD outbreak. Cattle prices initially decrease once the FMD outbreak occurs but then increase above base levels showing that average farms have the potential to regain lost revenues. The whole farm income results indicate that a producer not in the quarantine zone has the potential to capitalize on increasing livestock prices once the trade restrictions are lifted after quarter three.

▼ Invasive feral swine can damage ecosystems, disrupt plant and animal populations, and transmit diseases. Monitoring feral swine populations depends on expensive and/or labor intensive techniques such as aerial surveys, field surveys for sign, trail cameras, and landowner reports. Environmental DNA (eDNA) provides an alternative method for locating feral swine. From May 2017 to April 2018, domestic or feral swine DNA was artificially introduced into Bluff and Black Creeks in mid-Michigan. Water samples and data on various stream variables were collected at the location of DNA insertion and along a 400 m transect to investigate factors affecting swine DNA detection. Top models portraying presence of swine eDNA were selected based on Akaike’s Information Criterion corrected for low sample sizes (AICc). Model-averaging was used to portray parameter estimates from competing models, which included season, collection method, distance downstream from DNA introduction, water temperature, water velocity, and stream type. Two variables significantly affected detection of swine DNA, season and distance from the insertion point. Detection of swine DNA and season had an inverse relationship; odds of detecting swine eDNA decreased 54% each time the seasons changed from winter to spring, spring to summer, and summer to fall. As distance increased downstream from the introduced source point, the odds of DNA detection increased by 111% every 100 m (sampled up to 400 m) beyond the insertion point. The research confirmed swine DNA can be detected in streams up to 400 m from the source point and was influenced by season. Future eDNA sampling for feral swine should occur in the winter or spring. The results provide an important foundation for field application of utilizing eDNA as an alternative technique to monitor feral swine in northern regions of the US.

▼ For the second study, a web-based survey was developed and distributed to all members of four major health education organizations. A total of 1,925 HEs’ completed the survey and 1,607 responses were utilized in the final analysis. This study indicated that participants had deficient knowledge and unfavorable attitudes toward the CDCproposed genomic competencies. In the third study, a theoretical model was developed to predict HEs’ likelihood to incorporate genomic competencies into their practice. Using techniques from Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), the model was tested with the same data of the second study. Findings supported the proposed theoretical model. While genomic knowledge, attitudes, and self-efficacy were significantly associated with HEs’ likelihood to incorporate genomic competencies into their practice, attitudes was the strongest predictor of likelihood. In summary, these studies indicated that participating HEs had deficient genomic knowledge, unfavorable attitudes toward a set of CDC-proposed genomic competencies, and low likelihood to adopt genomic competencies into health promotion. Relevant training should be developed and advocated. As the SEM analysis results indicated the survey findings supported the proposed theoretical model, which can be utilized to steer future training for HEs. statistics, 2) unadjusted inferential statistics, 3) stratified analysis, and 4) multivariable models. My investigation produced results in accord with generally accepted notions in addition to significant findings that interestingly counter current preconceptions. Intraspecies contact was more common than inter-species, with indirect contact occurring more frequently than direct. Direct contact between species occurred extremely rarely. The most important factors that influenced the rate of contact for both species were water, winter, and cultivated fields. Information regarding probability of infectious agent survival and transfer will be used in the future to advance current epidemiological models, including geographicautomata (Ward et al. 2007: In Press) and cellular automata models (Doran and Laffan 2005) to better understand and manage integrated domestic cattle and free-ranging wildlife populations. Such modeling provides essential and necessary knowledge for developing prevention, detection, response, and recovery strategies – employed in advance, during, and after a disease outbreak, respectively.
