An integrative approach to the management of disease in mixed wildlife-livestock systems

摘要: Livestock diseases have a significant impact on human health and economic activity. Where multi-host pathogens are present in mixed wildlife-livestock systems, wildlife reservoirs of disease may prevent eradication livestock. Management such requires an understanding the biological processes governing their transmission, also socio-economic factors influencing stakeholder’s management decisions. This thesis aims to identify risk for presence single multiple livestock, quantify direct indirect interactions between livestock species evaluate effectiveness practicality resulting possible interventions. The study mainly uses example tuberculosis south-central Spain, region which suffers high prevalence both cattle wildlife. Risk were evaluated with questionnaires participatory mapping. Potential opportunities transmission through different host measured using proximity logging GPS collars attached species, base stations placed at resource control points farm. The resultant interventions ranked by stakeholders best-worst scaling. Risk wildlife, number streams per hectare farm provision food ground. Intra- inter-herd contacts diseases. Direct happened so rarely that they not likely account all transmission. Indirect interactions, particularly cattle, red deer pigs, warrant further investigation. These results used An expert panel ban supplementary feeding game as most effective intervention.
