Influenza A in Wild Hogs Spatiotemporal Distribution and Clustering

This project sought to explore the distributions and patterns of influenza A in feral swine populations. The massive and rapidly expanding population of wild hogs in the US cause significant damage to ecosystems and crops, but probably most concerning, create a massive resevoir for infectious disease which may infect humans. While human-pig contact is limited, the sheer numbers of infected swine beg the exploration of this data in hopes of understanding how infectious disease spread amongst wild animal populations.
