Incidence and persistence of classical swine fever in free-ranging wild boar (Sus scrofa).
Sophie Rossi,Emmanuelle Fromont,Dominique Pontier,C. Crucière,Jean Hars,J. Barrat,X. Pacholek,Marc Artois +7 more
TL;DR: Higher incidence was found in large forests compared to smaller isolated ones, being highest near the starting point of the epidemic, but poorly related to the local density, and persistence was favoured by the abundance of young wild boar, itself encouraged by CSF.
Dynamics of a feline virus with two transmission modes within exponentially growing host populations.
TL;DR: A model designed in order to take direct and indirect transmission of Feline panleucopenia virus showed that a mass-action incidence assumption was more appropriate than a proportionate mixing one in describing the dynamics of direct transmission.

Influence of oestrus synchronization on male reproductive success in the domestic cat ( Felis catus L.)
TL;DR: The results support the prediction that the variance in male reproductive success was four times greater in years when females bred asynchronously and dominant males sired the highest proportion of offspring.
Emergence and prevalence of human vector-borne diseases in sink vector populations.
TL;DR: An epidemiological model is built to investigate the dynamics of six major human vector borne-diseases in such non self-sustaining ‘sink’ vector populations and emphasizes the need for ecology and evolution to be thought in the context of metapopulations made of a mosaic of sink and source habitats.
Evidence of selection on the orange allele in the domestic cat Felis catus: the role of social structure
TL;DR: It is hypothesize that reproductive tactics may differ between individuals according to Orange genotype, which may explain why the Orange allele does not reach frequencies as high as those of non-agouti and blotched tabby alleles, which are more recent coat colour mutations.
