An update on active and passive surveillance for African swine fever in the Dominican Republic.
Sci Rep
January 2025
Center for Animal Health and Food Safety, College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Minnesota, St. Paul, MN, 55108, USA.
African swine fever (ASF) is a viral, hemorrhagic disease of swine that is reportable to the World Organisation for Animal Health. Since 2007, ASF has been expanding globally and causing severe disruption to the global swine industry. In 2021, ASF was detected in the Dominican Republic, prompting an emergency response from local and international officials.

Department of Population Health and Reproduction, School of Veterinary Medicine, University of California, Davis, Davis, CA 95616, United States. Electronic address:
Over the past two decades, there have been growing concerns around small and backyard farms in developed countries due to the potential risk they pose in introducing and spreading infectious disease agents. Ensuring high levels of biosecurity on these farms, through the maintenance of practices that prevent the introduction and transmission of disease agents, is essential in mitigating this risk. The aim of this study was to investigate, through a scoping review, the practices considered in articles reporting biosecurity in small and backyard farms raising livestock or poultry in developed countries, and how their implementation was examined.

African swine fever (ASF) is considered as one of the most threatening diseases for the pig farming industry all over the world. Due to the lack of an effective vaccine, organized farms and backyard rearing must strictly enforce control measures in order to combat the disease. The present report describes the ASF epidemic in a piggery in Uttar Pradesh state, India.

Minnesota Department of Health, Zoonotic Diseases Unit, St. Paul, MN, USA.
Objectives: Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) poses an occupational risk for poultry workers, responders, and others in contact with infected birds. The objective of this analysis was to describe HPAI surveillance methods and outcomes, and highlight the challenges, successes, and lessons learned during the Minnesota Department of Health's (MDH's) public health response to HPAI outbreaks in Minnesota poultry flocks in the years 2015 and 2022-2023.
Methods: During both outbreaks, MDH staff attempted to contact all potentially exposed people and conduct a standardized interview.
Biodiversity Change in Cultural Landscapes-The Rural Hotspot Hypothesis.

January 2025
Ecostrat GmbH Berlin Germany.
A dramatic decrease of biodiversity is currently questioning human-environment interactions that have shaped ecosystems over thousands of years. In old cultural landscapes of Central and East European (CEE) countries, a vast species decline has been reported for various taxa although intensive land cultivation has been reduced in favor of agroecological transformation, nature conservation and sustainable land management in the past 30 years. Thus, in the recent history, agricultural intensification cannot solely be discussed as the major driver controlling biodiversity.
