Landscape connectivity for predicting the spread of ASF in the European wild boar population
African swine fever (ASF) is an infectious and highly fatal disease affecting wild and domestic swine, which is unstoppably spreading worldwide. In Europe, wild boars are one of the main drivers of spread, transmission, and maintenance of the disease. Landscape connectivity studies are the main discipline to analyze wild-species dispersal networks, and it can be an essential tool to predict dispersal-wild boar movement routes and probabilities a…
African swine fever circulating in Europe linked to earlier introduction, not new outbreak
A study in Genome Biology and Evolution finds that the African Swine Fever virus, currently circulating in Europe, is not the result of a recent introduction. Instead, the virus has been present in the region since 2007. Its current dramatic spread appears to be driven largely by people within Europe traveling longer distances. The paper is titled "Exploiting viral DNA genomes to explore the dispersal history of African swine fever genotype II l…
Several areas in the Ilocos Region that were under the red zone due to African Swine Fever or ASF may be moved to the yellow zone after four months without any new cases. According to the protocol, pigs in the affected areas must undergo testing. If the results are negative, the local government must submit complete documents from the barangay to the regional level, and finally, to the Bureau of Animal Industry for official approval of the zonin…
TURIN – The total number of African swine fever cases in Piedmont stands at 784. In our region, in fact, no new positive cases have been observed among wild boars. Furthermore, no new outbreaks have been reported in pig farms in Piedmont. In Liguria, three new positive cases have been found, all in the province of Genoa: one in Ceranesi (first case), two in Genoa (274). The total in the region rises to 1,102 cases.
