目前识别和预测野生动物种群传染病动态的方法是有限的。病原体传播动态可能很复杂，受到宿主、病原体及其环境之间的行为相互作用的影响。这些行为也可能直接受到观察者的影响，观察性研究方法仅限于已习惯的物种。带状猫鼬是一种群居的中型食肉动物，感染了新型结核致病菌芒氏分枝杆菌。这种病原体主要在正常的嗅觉交流行为中传播。带状猫鼬对人类的行为反应随着景观的变化而变化，限制了在猫鼬受到威胁和逃跑的地区使用直接观察方法。生物记录设备中的加速计已经被用于识别野生动物物种的不同行为，为生态学研究中的特定行为提供了量化工具。我们在圈养猫鼬身上部署了Axy - 5X模型加速度计（TechnoSmArt），以确定加速度计是否可以用于识别先前与m相关的猫鼬关键行为活动。mungitransmission。在两个项圈周期后，我们确定加速度计数据中可以识别出三种不同的行为活动：两足垂直警戒、跑步和气味标记活动；带状猫鼬的行为在不同的土地类型上有所不同。这项工作的结果推进了当前的数据分析，并为数据分析工作流程提供了修改，更新和扩展了当前的方法。我们还提供了目标行为的成功数学分类的初步证据，支持这些设备的未来使用。这里应用的方法可能允许m的模型估计。自由放养猫鼬的mungittransport有待改进，并可能应用于其他直接观测方法应用有限的系统。
Current methods for identifying and predicting infectious disease dynamics in wildlife populations are limited. Pathogen transmission dynamics can be complex, influenced by behavioural interactions between and among hosts, pathogens and their environments. These behaviours may also be influenced directly by observers, with observational research methods being limited to habituated species. Banded mongooseMungos mungoare social, medium size carnivores infected with the novel tuberculosis pathogenMycobacterium mungi. This pathogen is principally transmitted during normal olfactory communication behaviours. Banded mongoose behavioural responses to humans change over the landscape, limiting the use of direct observational approaches in areas where mongoose are threatened and flee.The accelerometers in bio‐logging devices have been used previously to identify distinct behaviours in wildlife species, providing a tool to quantifying specific behaviours in ecological studies. We deployed Axy‐5X model accelerometers (TechnoSmArt) on captive mongoose to determine whether accelerometers could be used to identify key mongoose behavioural activities previously associated withM. mungitransmission.After two collaring periods, we determined that three distinct behavioural activities could be identified in the accelerometer data: bipedal vertical vigilance, running and scent marking activity; behaviours that have been shown to vary across land type in the banded mongoose.Results from this work advance current data analytics and provide modifications to data analysis works flows, updating and expanding upon current methodologies. We also provide preliminary evidence of successful mathematical classification of the target behaviours, supporting the future use of these devices. Methods applied here may allow model estimates ofM. mungitransmission in free‐ranging mongoose to be refined with possible application to other systems where direct observation approaches have limited application.
