Clark E, Merrill S, Trinity L, Bucini G, Cheney N, Langle-Chimal O, et al.
Front Vet Sci . 2021 Feb; 7:556668. PMID: 33537351
Mitigating the spread of disease is crucial for the well-being of agricultural production systems. Implementing biosecurity disease prevention measures can be expensive, so producers must balance the costs of biosecurity...

Trinity L, Merrill S, Clark E, Koliba C, Zia A, Bucini G, et al.
Front Vet Sci . 2020 Apr; 7:130. PMID: 32292792
Disease outbreaks in U.S. animal livestock industries have economic impacts measured in hundreds of millions of dollars per year. Biosecurity, or procedures intended to protect animals against disease, is known...

Clark E, Merrill S, Trinity L, Bucini G, Cheney N, Langle-Chimal O, et al.
PLoS One . 2020 Mar; 15(3):e0228983. PMID: 32182247
Failing to mitigate propagation of disease spread can result in dire economic consequences for agricultural networks. Pathogens like Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea virus, can quickly spread among producers. Biosecurity is designed...

Bucini G, Merrill S, Clark E, Moegenburg S, Zia A, Koliba C, et al.
Front Vet Sci . 2019 Jul; 6:196. PMID: 31294037
Hog producers' operational decisions can be informed by an awareness of risks associated with emergent and endemic diseases. Outbreaks of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDv) have been re-occurring every year...

Merrill S, Peairs F
Pest Manag Sci . 2016 May; 73(2):380-388. PMID: 27199092
Background: Models describing the effects of climate change on arthropod pest ecology are needed to help mitigate and adapt to forthcoming changes. Challenges arise because climate data are at resolutions...
