A protocol for external biosecurity assessment against wildlife in intensive pig farms: Are we ready for African Swine Fever?
To equip farmers with the knowledge they require to make informed decisions, awareness-raising campaigns and the transfer of the protocol through training programmes are needed
Hygiene procedures of trucks transporting live pigs: multi-assessment validation of a standardized C&D protocol
Overall, the standardized protocol markedly improved the sanitary status of pig-transport vehicles.
Evaluation of the efficacy of commercial disinfectants against African swine fever virus
These preliminary results can be used to target research on disinfectants which contain active ingredients with known efficacy against ASFV.
Seasonal occurrence of African swine fever in wild boar and domestic pigs in EU Member States
Seasonal effects may be related to the abundance and population dynamics of wild boar and to seasonality in pig farming.
333 Emerging Voices - Long-distance airborne transmission of PRRSV: a systematic review
This work presents a systematic review of the available scientific literature on the long-distance airborne transmission of PRRSV. Final thesis at the College of Veterinary Medicine, UAB, Spain, advised by Enric Mateu.
Quantitative risk assessment model of the presence of PED and ASF viruses in spray-dried porcine plasma
Under the current conditions, the model estimated that an inactivation level (log-kill) of 7.0, 7.2, and 7.3 log must be achieved to manufacture a 10-, 15-, and 20-tons batch size, respectively.
Assessment of temperature and time on the survivability of PRRSV and PEDV on experimentally contaminated surfaces
Time and temperature combinations effectively decrease the concentration of PRRSV and PEDV on different surfaces.
Mitigation of aerosol and microbial concentration in a weaning piggery by spraying nanobubble ozone water with an ultrasonic sprayer
The average aerosol mass concentration in the test area was over 50% lower than in the control area.
African swine fever virus DNA is present in non-biting flies collected from outbreak farms in Romania
This study brings compelling evidence of the presence of the most common synanthropic flies near domestic pig farms carrying ASFV DNA.
Intradermal needle-free injection prevents ASF transmission, while intramuscular needle injection does not
This study confirmed the hematogenous transmission of African Swine Fever virus between pigs through needle-sharing.
Space–time dynamics of African swine fever spread in the Philippines
The results here will help inform decisions intended to mitigate the impact of ASF in the Philippines and will contribute to the understanding of the epidemiological dynamics.
Epidemiological assessment of African swine fever spread in the Dominican Republic
These results provide critical information on the current state of the ASF epidemic in the Dominican Republic.
Survival of a surrogate ASF virus-like algal virus in feed matrices using a 23-day commercial United States truck transport model
Results demonstrate that ASFV-like nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses can retain viability in swine feed matrices during long-term transport across the continental United States.
Composting for the disposal of ASFV-infected swine carcasses
Infectious ASF virus particles were rapidly destroyed at day 3.
The role of feed materials in African swine fever virus transmission
Future research is needed to generate data on the main factors influencing the survival and transmission of ASFV in feed material.
