Synopsis (short abstract) Concept Note on “African swine fever: Managing with a One Health Lens,” presented at the International Conference on Veterinary Science 2025 in Bangkok, Thailand. It highlights ASF as a significant disease affecting domestic and wild pigs, which, while not directly threatening human health, impacts livelihoods, food security, and trade across Asia since its emergence in 2018. The event detailed in the concept note aims to raise awareness of practical One Health applications and share innovations that enhance prevention, preparedness, detection and response to the disease. It describes a structured learning journey incorporating evidence from field experiences in Cambodia, Indonesia, the Lao People's Democratic Republic, the Philippines, Thailand and Viet Nam. Key topics include wild boar ecology, strengthening laboratory networks, national simulation exercises and capacity building for veterinary and wildlife services. Special emphasis is placed on risk communication, community engagement and biosecurity measures to bolster resilience among smallholder farmers.The intended audience encompasses animal and human health professionals, academics, government officials, development partners and industry stakeholders. Expected outcomes include improved understanding of sustainable management strategies for ASF and methods that can be applied to other transboundary animal diseases and zoonoses, along with increased visibility for FAO and its partners through interactive exhibits, success story launches and recorded discussions at the conference booth.
