Disease management
Research Question
- To develop better tools for the management of ASF
Research Gaps and Challenges
- Identify better management tools to control the disease in wild boars
- Develop low cost commercially available disinfectants for use in the inactivation of ASFV on contaminated surfaces found in farm settings and other susceptible environments
- Explore the use of disinfectants to reduce the risk of ASFV infections from ASFV-infected carcasses
State Of the Art
- Acaricides for controlling the soft tick may not be useful as the tick lives off the host and burrows underground as well as
crevices in buildings. The best ASF method is to remove the pigs from infected premises
