Book (series)African swine fever in wild boar
Ecology and biosecurity
2019Also available in:
The purpose of document is to provide fact based overview of ASF ecology in the Northern and Eastern European populations of wild boar and briefly describe a range of practical management and biosecurity measures or interventions, which can help stockholders in the countries experiencing large scale epidemic of this exotic disease to address the problem in a more coherent, collaborative and comprehensive way. The handbook should not be viewed as an authoritative manual providing readymade solutions on how to eradicate ASF from wild boar. The facts, observations and approaches described in the document are presented with the intention to broadly inform veterinary authorities, wildlife conservation bodies, hunting community, farmers and general public about complexity of this novel disease and the need to wisely plan and carefully coordinate any efforts aiming at its prevention and control. -
Book (series)African swine fever in wild boar
Ecology and biosecurity
2022Also available in:
No results found.African swine fever (ASF) is a devastating haemorrhagic viral disease affecting domestic and wild pigs of all ages and sexes. This disease causes massive economic losses, threatens food security and trade, and presents a serious challenge for the pig production sector in affected countries. ASF also threatens the biodiversity conservation of several Asiatic wild Suidae. Since ASF was first introduced in Georgia in 2007, the disease has spread to many countries in Europe, Asia and the Pacific, and in 2021, it was detected in the Caribbean states of the Dominican Republic and Haiti, both in the Americas. In much of its Euro-Asiatic range, the African swine fever virus (ASFV) infects wild boar, which sometimes act as the main – if not the only – epidemiological reservoir of the infection, keeping it in the environment regardless of the presence of infected domestic pigs. The presence of the virus in wild boar populations is a continuous health threat for the sympatric domestic pig population, posing a challenge for veterinary and wildlife services that have had little success in attempting to eradicate infections among wildlife, especially in the absence of an effective vaccine. Finally, areas in which ASFV is detected in wild boar remain infected for at least one year after the last recorded case. This is a much longer period than that of domestic animals and puts a strain on the services involved, requiring a considerable amount of work and human and financial resources. The second edition of the handbook provides insights on surveillance and disease management in wild boar based on experiences with ASFV eradication in Belgium and Czechia, as well as other recent experiences in the prevention and control of the disease in wild boar in Europe. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetКакво ловците трябва да знаят за Африканска чума по свинете и мерки за биосигурност по време на лов? 2023
Also available in:
Африканската чума по свинете (АЧС) е смъртоносно инфекциозно заболяване по домашните и дивите свине. Множество страни в Европа са засегнати от АЧС, като по-голямата част от огнищата са при диви свине, които могат да поддържат болестта за дълги периоди от време. Овладяването на заболяването при дивата свиня е голямо предизвикателство за националните власти. Стопанисващите дивата природа и ловците са от ключово значение за предотвратяване и забавяне разпространението на АЧС при дивата свиня. Този информационен лист, предназначен за ловци, обобщава най-важните факти за АЧС при дивите свине и биосигурността при лов. Може да се използва като самостоятелен документ за информиране на ловците или като допълнителен материал по време на обучение на ловците. -
