    In September 2000, Ian Lowther, a UK national, was sentenced to life imprisonment for a murder he committed 23 years earlier. His conviction was made possible by advances in biotechnology, which allowed forensic scientists to match his DNA to samples found on the victim's body. Since then, DNA profiling has become standard crime scene practice.

    Based on the results of a simulation model, Swiss researchers found that pre-emptive culling and vaccination offered no advantages over baseline control strategies in controlling classical swine fever (CSF) in regions with low- or medium density of the pig population. They stressed that early detection of outbreaks is crucial and that risk-based surveillance should be focused on farms with weaners and fattening pigs.

    Under the conditions of this Canadian study, gilt replacement strategies may involve some weaknesses that could impact porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) management at the farm or regional level. Researchers identified acclimatisation techniques as being particularly important in this respect, and they recommended that producers are informed about their implications.
