Undetected Circulation of African Swine Fever in Wild Boar, Asia
Timothée Vergne, Claire Guinat, Dirk U. Pfeiffer
Abstract
African swine fever is a growing threat to the livestock industry. We examined data indicating that in most countries in Asia, most notified events were related to farm outbreaks; meanwhile, only a few wild boar cases were reported. We hypothesize the virus circulates unnoticed in wild boar populations in Asia.
