The Spatial Ecology of Wild Pigs (Sus scrofa) in Southwest Florida
Wild pigs (Sus scrofa) are among the world's most destructive mammalian invasive species, and mitigating farther range expansion will require a thorough understanding of movement behavior, diel activity patterns, space use, and resource selection. Currently, limited empirical evidence is available …

Mathematical epidemiological models with finite time extinction : the case of African swine fever virus in wildlife areas
… a contagious disease a ecting both domestic and wild pigs, in the Mkuze Game Reserve. In the paper by Arnot et. al.[3] it was established that although an increase in burrow infestation rates was observed, the disease was not detected within the game reserve. This situation cannot be captured …

Influence of network structure on disease spread and persistence
… (ASF), a fast-spreading viral disease found in wild and domestic pigs, and lymphatic filariasis (LF), a slow-spreading vector-borne filarial disease in humans. With these case studies, I explore three themes: modelling diseases with complex transmission cycles, the impact of network structure on …
