Research Question

biosecurity settings
Research Gaps and Challenges
- To investigate the socioeconomics of the disease and pig and pork value chains, particularly those related to low biosecurity settings
State Of the Art
- The introduction of ASF into countries outside Africa has had important economic consequences for swine industries. A
significant consequence of the introduction of ASF is the loss of status for international trade and the implementation of
drastic and costly control strategies to eradicate the disease. In endemic countries, such as in Africa, the impact is also
considerable, particularly on numerous poor households that depend on pigs to pay for many of the necessities of life. The acceptance of stakeholders of the current stamping out policy is weak, either for ethical and economic reasons
