    An Assessment of the Risk Associated with the Movement of Weaned Pigs Within, Into, and Outside of a Control Area during a Foot-and-Mouth Disease Outbreak in the United States
    (2020-02-11) Cardona, Carol; Culhane, Marie; Goldsmith, Timothy; Iglesias, Irene; Soininen, Riikka; Patterson, Gilbert; Sampedro, Fernando; VanderWaal, Kimberly; Vesterinen, Heidi; Walz, Emily
    This document is a proactive semi-qualitative Risk Assessment (RA) that seeks to evaluate the risk that movement of live pigs during a foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) outbreak in the swine industry in the United States will result in the spread of FMD virus (FMDv) to other premises with swine. This assessment evaluates risks of FMDv spread associated with: the movement of weaned pigs originating from a Monitored Premises within, into, and outside a Control Area.

    Epidemiological Model and Weighted Edgelists of Contacts Among Cattle Herds in the Dry and Wet Season in Central Kenya
    (2017-07-13) VanderWaal, Kimberly; Gilbertson, Marie; Okanga, Sharon; Allan, Brian F.; Craft, Meggan E.; kvw@umn.edu; VanderWaal, Kimberly
    This data consists of weighted edgelists representing the frequency with which mobile herds of cattle came into contact with one another in central Kenya. In addition, code is included that simulates the spread of a pathogen through the cattle network. This data can be used to better understand patterns of contact among cattle herds and its implication for the spread of pathogens.

    Monitoring the spatiotemporal patterns of wildlife health using rehabilitation databases

    Wildlife health surveillance is challenging. An alternative is to use wildlife rehabilitation data as potential sentinels, where anomalies in the pattern of submissions may indicate an underlying event that deviates from the baseline and warrants further investigation. Such anomalies may affect multiple species, leading submissions to be clustered in a certain area or time period. To determine spatiotemporal submission patterns and the feasibility of identifying anomalies potentially associated with underlying events, we aggregated databases from two major wildlife rehabilitation centers in Minnesota, drawing on 66,472 submissions from the 2015 – 2019 period, and pertaining to 29 ”species groups” and 12 “circumstances” associated with submission. The infants and juveniles of wildlife, including fledglings, hatchlings, and after-hatch year birds (raptor-specific), submitted as a group from the same location on the same day were grouped and considered as one submission. Hence, the number of records included in the spatiotemporal cluster analysis was 49,352. The multivariate multinomial space-time model of the scan statistic was used to identify statistically significant spatiotemporal clusters of either wildlife species groups or circumstances, simultaneously (Cluster: an area capturing 10% of the submissions aggregated within a maximum radius of 30km during a maximum temporal window of 3-months). This repository contains the data arranged to be used for the spatial cluster analysis.
