Abstract
Sensometrics assesses sensory perspectives in consumer research using statistics and various methodologies. This study evaluated consumer responses to hot and cold germinated-wheat beverages in check-all-that-apply (CATA) and rate-all-that-apply (RATA) assessments using sensometric statistical approaches, including Cochran's Q test, penalty-lift analysis, and multiple factor analysis. Hot beverages (HB) were prepared by infusion using different amounts of germinated wheat (HB_1: 0.8 g/100 mL, HB_2: 2 g/100 mL, and HB_3: 4 g/100 mL), while cold beverages (CB) were made using cooled boiled germinated wheat with varying concentrations (CB_1: 25 g/L, CB_2: 50 g/L, and CB_3: 75 g/L). Results of the CATA study suggested that consumers preferred HB_1 and CB_1 because they expressed the sensory characteristics associated with liking, including "barley tea flavor", "neat taste", and "nutty taste", while "bitterish taste", "stuffy taste", and "astringent taste" were undesirable attributes. "Browning index", "barley tea odor", and "nutty taste" showed significant differences (p < 0.05) in both favorable and unfavorable rating scores. Overall, CB_1 elicited a clear taste and odor with fewer negative emotions. These findings demonstrate the usefulness of the sensometric approach combined with CATA and RATA analyses to obtain more easily interpretable results on the sensory perception of consumers to new food products.

Abstract
Sensory analysis is crucial for optimizing experiences in various fields, including food, cosmetics, and product design. Traditional methods can be inefficient and imprecise. This study introduces a novel approach by blending Virtual Reality (VR) technology with scent identification techniques. The aim is to investigate whether the visual representation of food products affects scent perception. Limited research has explored the use of VR in scent identification, which is especially relevant when altering the food environment setting. A virtual sensory laboratory was developed to mimic MATE's sensory booth. Sixty participants, all MATE students, were involved in this study. This method offers a potential means to streamline scent identification and reduce human bias in sensory analysis. In summary, the combination of VR technology and scent identification presents a fresh methodological approach to sensory analysis, where both scent and exposure are influenced by the environment or imagery. This concept delves into cross-modal correspondences and the role of sensory cues in shaping our perception of food odours within the VR setting.

Abstract
Tropical fruit aromas are prominent in many white wines. The purpose of this work was to determine if winemaking practices could impact the tropical fruit aromas in the Chardonnay wines and how those aroma differences influenced wine consumers acceptance and emotional responses. Four treatments were tested at varying fermentation temperature gradients and skin contact times: control fermentation at 13 °C with no skin contact (Control), fermentation at 13 °C with 18 h of skin contact (SC), fermentation temperature gradient by time (20 °C for 4 days then reduced to 13 °C) with no skin contact (FG), fermentation temperature gradient by time with 18 h of skin contact (SCFG). Acceptance, using a 7-point hedonic scale, showed there was not a significant difference between treatments. Emotional response, using a 5-point Rate-All-That-Apply (RATA) scale, showed significant differences for 'calm' and 'disgusted' emotions. Check-all-that-apply (CATA) for aroma descriptors showed that Control is described using aromas of passionfruit, lychee, and pome fruit; SC had aromas of grapefruit and floral; FG was described as having melon, lychee, and pineapple aromas; and SCFG was described with aromas of lemon/lime, mango, and guava. Positive emotions were associated with fruity aromas in the wines, although no difference in acceptance was found. Winemaking treatments impacted the aroma profile of chardonnay wine, with tropical aromas evoking positive emotions in consumers. The relationship between specific aromas and consumers emotion responses can be an important tool to understand the factors behind a wine's success or lack thereof. Moreover, it can help with the creation of new wine products.

Abstract
Morchella sextelata is a precious and popular commercial edible fungus that was developed recently in China. This research aimed to characterize the volatile profiles of M. sextelata under three dehydration methods (freeze, hot air, and natural air drying). Comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC × GC-ToF-MS) was shown to the best choice to discriminate the volatile profiles of M. sextelata Characteristic flavor substances of M. sextelata were eight-carbon-containing (C8) compounds, hexanal, 2(5 h)-furanone, and benzaldehyde. Drying methods had significant influences on the volatile flavor profiles of M. sextelata, and 104 differential compounds were screened by multivariate statistical analysis. Freeze-dried samples had the most abundant volatile compounds and maintained more alcohols, ketones, aldehydes, and esters described as mushroom, sweet, and green flavor, like 1-octen-3-ol, 1-octen-3-one, nonanal, 2,3-butanedione, and so on. Hot air-drying promoted the production of heterocycles and ketones with roasted flavor due to the thermalreaction, such as 2-cyclohexen-1-one, furan, 3-phenyl-, etc. Natural air-drying resulted in acids releasing an unpleasant flavor, e.g., acetic acid, 2-methylbutanoic acid, etc. Overall, thermal reaction combined with vacuum conditions might be suitable for maintaining and enriching the aroma flavor of dried true morels.

Abstract
Organic cation transporter 2 (OCT2) is predominantly expressed in the basolateral membrane of renal proximal tubule cells and contributes to the renal excretion of various drugs such as metformin, cisplatin, oxaliplatin, cimetidine, and lamivudine. Cisplatin, an anticancer agent for various cancers, is a substrate of OCT2, and cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity is in part attributed to OCT2 activity in the kidney, which increases the renal accumulation of cisplatin. In this study, we aimed to identify flavone derivatives with strong inhibitory effects on OCT2 transport. Among the 80 flavonoids tested, 24 showed moderate to strong inhibitory effects against OCT2 transport activity. The IC50 values were less than 5 μM for 10 flavonoids. All 10 compounds alleviated cisplatin-induced cytotoxicity in cells expressing OCT2, even though the magnitude of the effects varied depending on the functional moieties in each position. Multiple factor analysis revealed that the methyl group at the R1 position and methoxy group at the R6 position of the flavonol backbone are important for OCT2 inhibition. Information on the functional moieties in the flavonol backbone would help develop effective OCT2 inhibitors by providing a structural association with OCT2 inhibitory effects. In addition, the compounds with strong inhibitory effects on OCT2 identified in this study may be potential candidates for clinical use to mitigate cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity.

Abstract
The properties of wheat dough according to salt level and type of mixer were investigated, and parameters derived from each analysis were comprehensively compared. Mixolab analysis showed that water absorption decreased with salt level while the dough strength increased. In the Mixolab C2 stage, related with thermal strength, C2 temperature and time had stronger correlation with other dough strength parameters than C2 torque. Thickness increase of gluten strand was dominant in the doughs prepared by vertical mixer (VMD) than in those prepared by Mixolab device (MLD), for the same salt level. In large deformation, increase in resistance to extension by salt level was much greater in VMD than in MLD. In small deformation, relationships of salt level with G', G'' and power-law exponent (n) were linear and non-linear in MLD and VMD, respectively. Since MLD could not perfectly reflect VMD, properties of dough should be considered in multiple ways for its comprehensive understanding.

Abstract
The hop plant (Humulus lupulus L.) has been exploited for a long time for both its brewing and medicinal uses, due in particular to its specific chemical composition. These last years, hop cultivation that was in decline has been experiencing a renewal for several reasons, such as a craze for strongly hopped aromatic beers. In this context, the present work aims at investigating the genetic and chemical diversity of fifty wild hops collected from different locations in Northern France. These wild hops were compared to ten commercial varieties and three heirloom varieties cultivated in the same sampled geographical area. Genetic analysis relying on genome fingerprinting using 11 microsatellite markers showed a high level of diversity. A total of 56 alleles were determined with an average of 10.9 alleles per locus and assessed a significant population structure (mean pairwise FST = 0.29). Phytochemical characterization of hops was based on volatile compound analysis by HS-SPME GC-MS, quantification of the main prenylated phenolic compounds by UHPLC-UV as well as untargeted metabolomics by UHPLC-HRMS and revealed a high level of chemical diversity among the assessed wild accessions. In particular, analysis of volatile compounds revealed the presence of some minor but original compounds, such as aromadendrene, allo-aromadendrene, isoledene, β-guaiene, α-ylangene and β-pinene in some wild accessions; while analysis of phenolic compounds showed high content of β-acids in these wild accessions, up to 2.37% of colupulone. Genetic diversity of wild hops previously observed was hence supported by their chemical diversity. Sample soil analysis was also performed to get a pedological classification of these different collection sites. Results of the multivariate statistical analysis suggest that wild hops constitute a huge pool of chemical and genetic diversity of this species.

Abstract
PURPOSE The paraspinal muscles (PSM) are a key feature potentially related to low back pain (LBP), and their structure and composition can be quantified using MRI. Most commonly, quantifying PSM measures across individual muscles and individual spinal levels renders numerous separate metrics that are analyzed in isolation. However, comprehensive multivariate approaches would be more appropriate for analyzing the PSM within an individual. To establish and test these methods, we hypothesized that multivariate summaries of PSM MRI measures would associate with the presence of LBP symptoms (i.e., pain intensity). METHODS We applied hierarchical multiple factor analysis (hMFA), an unsupervised integrative method, to clinical PSM MRI data from unique cohort datasets including a longitudinal cohort of astronauts with pre- and post-spaceflight data and a cohort of chronic LBP subjects and asymptomatic controls. Three specific use cases were investigated: (1) predicting longitudinal changes in pain using combinations of baseline PSM measures; (2) integrating baseline and post-spaceflight MRI to assess longitudinal change in PSM and how it relates to pain; and (3) integrating PSM quality and adjacent spinal pathology between LBP patients and controls. RESULTS Overall, we found distinct complex relationships with pain intensity between particular muscles and spinal levels. Subjects with high asymmetry between left and right lean muscle composition and differences between spinal segments PSM quality and structure are more likely to increase in pain reported outcome after prolonged time in microgravity. Moreover, changes in PSM quality and structure between pre and post-spaceflight relate to increase in pain after prolonged microgravity. Finally, we show how unsupervised hMFA recapitulates previous research on the association of CEP damage and LBP diagnostic. CONCLUSION Our analysis considers the spine as a multi-segmental unit as opposed to a series of discrete and isolated spine segments. Integrative and multivariate approaches can be used to distill large and complex imaging datasets thereby improving the clinical utility of MRI-based biomarkers, and providing metrics for further analytical goals, including phenotyping.

Dynamic changes and correlations between physicochemical properties, 14 targeted volatile compounds (TVCs) and six groups of enzyme activities during eight production stages of naturally fermented plain sufu were explored. Multiple factor analysis was used to discriminate between and group the samples into three clusters: cluster I comprised tofu and pehtze; cluster II comprised dried pehtze and salted pehtze; cluster III involved the aging stages. Clusters I and II were characterised by higher enzyme activities, while cluster III was characterised by the presence of diverse TVCs. Protease and esterase were strongly correlated with most of the TVCs. Esterase, in particular, contributed to the formation of three high molecular weight esters, namely, ethyl dodecanoate, ethyl (Z)-9-octadecenoate and ethyl (Z, Z)-9,12-octadecadienoate. The enzymes found contributed to the texture and flavour of naturally fermented sufu and will provide a good guide and control for using the enzymes directly to ripen sufu products.

Abstract
This study describes the use of the Mixture Design for simultaneals to improve the physical properties and acceptability of gluten-free bread (GFB) based on whole pseudocereals flour, as well as to define dough and bread instrumental predictors of the sensory quality of GFB. Three simplex-centroid designs were used to study the effects of each pseudocereal flour (amaranth - AF, buckwheat - BF, and quinoa - QF) blended with rice flour (RF) and potato starch (PS) on dough and bread properties. A total of 30 GFB formulations were produced and evaluated. Results reveal relationships between dough Mixolab parameters, such as C3 and C4, related to gelatinization and starch stability, with crumb moisture and firmness of GFB formulation, in which higher values of these parameters related to higher acceptability scores (>7 on a 10 cm hydroid hedonic scale). However, higher values of the secondary parameter C3-C4 was related to lower loaf-specific volume, impairing appearance and texture acceptability, as well as overall liking. The interaction effects between pseudocereal flour and RF increases dough consistency, bread volume, softness, and acceptability. Blends of 50% AF, BF, or QF with 50% RF results in GFB with high acceptability (overall liking of 8). The maximum pseudocereal proportions to obtain acceptable GFB (scores ≥ 7 for appearance, color, odor, texture, flavor acceptability and overall liking) were 60% AF, 85% BF, and 82% QF blended with RF. The combination of instrumental and sensory methods was useful to identify parameters capable of predicting the GFB quality, which may be useful for food scientists and producers to face the challenges regarding the development of healthier and better quality GFB to meet consumer needs.

Abstract
This study aims to investigate the changes in atmospheric deposition trends in Bulgaria, studied using the moss biomonitoring technique since 1995. For the first time, a paired (site-wise) comparison was performed after a critical review of the sampling networks and adjusting for location, the distance between the sampling points, and moss species. Data from the 2005/2006 and 2015/2016 moss surveys were chosen as instrumental neutron activation analysis was employed in both to determine the content of 34 elements (Al, As, Ba, Br, Са, Ce, Cl, Со, Cr, Cs, Fe, Hf, I, K, La, Mn, Na, Nd, Ni, Rb, Sb, Sc, Se, Sr, Ta, Tb, Th, Ti, Tm, U, V, W, Yb, Zn). In addition, Cd, Cu, and Pb were determined using complementary analytical methods: inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy in 2015/2016 and atomic absorption spectroscopy in 2005/2006. For the subset of 57 routinely sampled locations in Bulgaria, hierarchical clustering on principal components and multiple factor analysis (MFA) were applied to assess the spatial trends in the 10 years elapsed between the surveys, as well as to characterise the origin of the determined elements. Elevation and distance between the sampling points were used as additional variables in the multiple factor analysis plane to ascertain their effect on the overall variance in the datasets. Distribution maps were constructed to illustrate the deposition patterns for the pollutant Pb. The results were consistent with decreased industrial output in the country, increased coal combustion and transport pollution, and construction of roads.

Abstract
In this study, comprehensive profiling of the phenolic compounds in sorghum grain was achieved by analysing the free and bound extracts of sorghum bran and kernel fractions from five Australian sorghum genotypes (1 white, 2 red, 1 brown and 1 black coloured), using HPLC-DAD-ESI-QTOF-MS/MS. A total of 110 phenolic compounds were annotated, out of which 56 were reported for the first time in sorghum grain. Compounds with matched authentic standards were quantified/semi-quantified. Multiple factor analysis (MFA) was performed and heatmaps generated, which provided direct visualisation of the distribution of individual phenolic compounds/subclasses between the sorghum samples. The results indicated that phenolic compounds were concentrated on the bran, and free and bound extracts had different phenolic composition. The phenolic compound/subclass profile varied greatly among sorghum genotypes. Brown sorghum genotype (IS131C) had the highest concentration of total phenolic contents, and the bran fraction of brown sorghum had the most abundant and diverse phenolic composition among all tested samples. This study provides the most comprehensive phenolic profile of Australian representative sorghum grains up to date.

Abstract
Malignant progression of normal tissue is typically driven by complex networks of somatic changes, including genetic mutations, copy number aberrations, epigenetic changes, and transcriptional reprogramming. To delineate aberrant multi-omic tumor features that correlate with clinical outcomes, we present a novel pathway-centric tool based on the multiple factor analysis framework called padma. Using a multi-omic consensus representation, padma quantifies and characterizes individualized pathway-specific multi-omic deviations and their underlying drivers, with respect to the sampled population. We demonstrate the utility of padma to correlate patient outcomes with complex genetic, epigenetic, and transcriptomic perturbations in clinically actionable pathways in breast and lung cancer.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to assess the use of infrared thermography as a microclimate-evaluating tool and an estimate of the thermal comfort provided by four types of tree to cattle under grazing conditions in the central region of Brazil. The experiment was conducted at the Embrapa Beef Cattle Company, in Campo Grande, MS, Brazil, from June to August 2015. Evaluations were carried out over four consecutive days, at 1-hour intervals, from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (local time; GMT - 4:00). Infrared thermography images of tree crowns and soil surface underneath them from the shadow projection of four tree species native to the Brazilian cerrado (savannah-like) biome were obtained. The microclimate was assessed by estimation of thermal indices: temperature and humidity index, black globe, and radiation thermal load. The previous was calculated based on records of air temperature, dew point temperature, black globe temperature, air relative humidity, wind speed, and solar radiation. The geometrical settings of the trees were assessed for each tree component. Five thematic groups were formed based on multiple factor analysis that summarizes three synthetic analytical dimensions to explain the total variance among the studied elements and the existing correlations between groups. Positive linear correlations were found between thermography and the temperature measurements, thermal comfort indices, and radiation, suggesting that infrared thermography can be used as a tool for estimating and monitoring the microclimate and thermal comfort, presenting a potential use of measurement in agroforestry systems.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The insect gut microbiota has been shown to contribute to the host's digestion, detoxification, development, pathogen resistance, and physiology. However, there is poor information about the ranking of these roles. Most of these results were obtained with cultivable bacteria, whereas the bacterial physiology may be different between free-living and midgut-colonizing bacteria. In this study, we provided both proteomic and genomic evidence on the ranking of the roles of gut bacteria by investigating the anal droplets from a weevil, Cryptorhynchus lapathi. RESULTS The gut lumen and the anal droplets showed qualitatively and quantitatively different subsets of bacterial communities. The results of 16S rRNA sequencing showed that the gut lumen is dominated by Proteobacteria and Bacteroidetes, whereas the anal droplets are dominated by Proteobacteria. From the anal droplets, enzymes involved in 31 basic roles that belong to 7 super roles were identified by Q-TOF MS. The cooperation between the weevil and its gut bacteria was determined by reconstructing community pathway maps, which are defined in this study. A score was used to rank the gut bacterial roles. The results from the proteomic data indicate that the most dominant role of gut bacteria is amino acid biosynthesis, followed by protein digestion, energy metabolism, vitamin biosynthesis, lipid digestion, plant secondary metabolite (PSM) degradation, and carbohydrate digestion, while the order from the genomic data is amino acid biosynthesis, vitamin biosynthesis, lipid digestion, energy metabolism, protein digestion, PSM degradation, and carbohydrate digestion. The PCA results showed that the gut bacteria form functional groups from the point of view of either the basic role or super role, and the MFA results showed that there are functional variations among gut bacteria. In addition, the variations between the proteomic and genomic data, analyzed with the HMFA method from the point of view of either the bacterial community or individual bacterial species, are presented. CONCLUSION The most dominant role of gut bacteria is essential nutrient provisioning, followed by digestion and detoxification. The weevil plays a pioneering role in diet digestion and mainly digests macromolecules into smaller molecules which are then mainly digested by gut bacteria.

Abstract
Background An increased incidence of imprint-associated disorders has been reported in babies born from assisted reproductive technology (ART). However, previous studies supporting an association between ART and an altered DNA methylation status of the conceived babies have been often conducted on a limited number of methylation sites and without correction for critical potential confounders. Moreover, all the previous studies focused on the identification of methylation changes shared among subjects while an evaluation of stochastic differences has never been conducted. This study aims to evaluate the effect of ART and other common behavioral or environmental factors associated with pregnancy on stochastic epigenetic variability using a multivariate approach. Results DNA methylation levels of cord blood from 23 in vitro and 41 naturally conceived children were analyzed using the Infinium HumanMethylation450 BeadChips. After multiple testing correction, no statistically significant difference emerged in the number of cord blood stochastic epigenetic variations or in the methylation levels between in vitro- and in vivo-conceived babies. Conversely, four multiple factor analysis dimensions summarizing common phenotypic, behavioral, or environmental factors (cord blood cell composition, pre or post conception supplementation of folates, birth percentiles, gestational age, cesarean section, pre-gestational mother’s weight, parents’ BMI and obesity status, presence of adverse pregnancy outcomes, mother’s smoking status, and season of birth) were significantly associated with stochastic epigenetic variability. The stochastic epigenetic variation analysis allowed the identification of a rare imprinting defect in the locus GNAS in one of the babies belonging to the control population, which would not have emerged using a classical case-control association analysis. Conclusions We confirmed the effect of several common behavioral or environmental factors on the epigenome of newborns and described for the first time an epigenetic effect related to season of birth. Children born after ART did not appear to have an increased risk of genome-wide changes in DNA methylation either at specific loci or randomly scattered throughout the genome. The inability to identify differences between cases and controls suggests that the number of stochastic epigenetic variations potentially induced by ART was not greater than that naturally produced in response to maternal behavior or other common environmental factors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Animal's efficiency in converting feed into lean gain is a critical issue for the profitability of meat industries. This study aimed to describe shared and specific molecular responses in different tissues of pigs divergently selected over eight generations for residual feed intake (RFI). RESULTS Pigs from the low RFI line had an improved gain-to-feed ratio during the test period and displayed higher leanness but similar adiposity when compared with pigs from the high RFI line at 132 days of age. Transcriptomics data were generated from longissimus muscle, liver and two adipose tissues using a porcine microarray and analyzed for the line effect (n = 24 pigs per line). The most apparent effect of the line was seen in muscle, whereas subcutaneous adipose tissue was the less affected tissue. Molecular data were analyzed by bioinformatics and subjected to multidimensional statistics to identify common biological processes across tissues and key genes participating to differences in the genetics of feed efficiency. Immune response, response to oxidative stress and protein metabolism were the main biological pathways shared by the four tissues that distinguished pigs from the low or high RFI lines. Many immune genes were under-expressed in the four tissues of the most efficient pigs. The main genes contributing to difference between pigs from the low vs high RFI lines were CD40, CTSC and NTN1. Different genes associated with energy use were modulated in a tissue-specific manner between the two lines. The gene expression program related to glycogen utilization was specifically up-regulated in muscle of pigs from the low RFI line (more efficient). Genes involved in fatty acid oxidation were down-regulated in muscle but were promoted in adipose tissues of the same pigs when compared with pigs from the high RFI line (less efficient). This underlined opposite line-associated strategies for energy use in skeletal muscle and adipose tissue. Genes related to cholesterol synthesis and efflux in liver and perirenal fat were also differentially regulated in pigs from the low vs high RFI lines. CONCLUSIONS Non-productive functions such as immunity, defense against pathogens and oxidative stress contribute likely to inter-individual variations in feed efficiency.

Abstract
Background Endurance exercise in horses requires adaptive processes involving physiological, biochemical, and cognitive-behavioral responses in an attempt to regain homeostasis. We hypothesized that the identification of the relationships between blood metabolome, transcriptome, and miRNome during endurance exercise in horses could provide significant insights into the molecular response to endurance exercise. For this reason, the serum metabolome and whole-blood transcriptome and miRNome data were obtained from ten horses before and after a 160 km endurance competition. Results We obtained a global regulatory network based on 11 unique metabolites, 263 metabolic genes and 5 miRNAs whose expression was significantly altered at T1 (post- endurance competition) relative to T0 (baseline, pre-endurance competition). This network provided new insights into the cross talk between the distinct molecular pathways (e.g. energy and oxygen sensing, oxidative stress, and inflammation) that were not detectable when analyzing single metabolites or transcripts alone. Single metabolites and transcripts were carrying out multiple roles and thus sharing several biochemical pathways. Using a regulatory impact factor metric analysis, this regulatory network was further confirmed at the transcription factor and miRNA levels. In an extended cohort of 31 independent animals, multiple factor analysis confirmed the strong associations between lactate, methylene derivatives, miR-21-5p, miR-16-5p, let-7 family and genes that coded proteins involved in metabolic reactions primarily related to energy, ubiquitin proteasome and lipopolysaccharide immune responses after the endurance competition. Multiple factor analysis also identified potential biomarkers at T0 for an increased likelihood for failure to finish an endurance competition. Conclusions To the best of our knowledge, the present study is the first to provide a comprehensive and integrated overview of the metabolome, transcriptome, and miRNome co-regulatory networks that may have a key role in regulating the metabolic and immune response to endurance exercise in horses.

Abstract
Corsica is a French Mediterranean island with traditional extensive pig farming oriented towards the production of high quality cured meat products. The increasing success of these cured products in continental Europe has triggered the development and organisation of an extensive pig farming industry. However, these pig farming practices have seldom been described and analysed to understand the potential risk of introduction and spread of infectious diseases. We conducted a cross-sectional study in Corsica in 2013 to characterise the main pig management practices and to identify groups of farms with similar practices and therefore homogeneous risk of introduction and spread of infectious diseases. We interviewed 68 pig farmers and investigated different farm management practices which could lead to contact between herds, such as trading animals, sharing pastures, feed and reproduction management (direct contacts), slaughtering and carcass waste management, and contacts with people and vehicles (indirect contacts). The practices were described and the farms grouped by multiple factor and hierarchical clustering analyses. Results revealed interesting patterns in the introduction and spread of infectious disease, such as the seasonality of pig production, the potential local spread of diseases in pastures due to the presence of free-ranging boars, carcasses, and animal waste. Multivariate analyses identified four groups of farms with different levels of risk of the spread of infectious disease, illustrating changes in farmers' customs from free-range uncontrolled farming systems to more controlled systems aimed at the production of high quality pork products. These results will be useful to more realistically simulate the spread of infectious diseases among Corsican pig farms and highlight the need for awareness raising campaigns among the stakeholders to reduce risky practices.
