Key result
Wild boar populations serve as the primary reservoir for the African swine fever virus in Europe, with their increasing density directly correlating with the number of ASF cases.
Why the study?
Wild boars have become the most important reservoir of African swine fever virus in Europe and a major risk factor for transmission to domestic pigs, requiring a new long-term management approach.

Wild boar surveillance may guide ASF control in Europe; leaves open optimal strategies pending higher-level evidence.
Wild boar populations are the main reservoir of ASFV in Europe, and their increasing density correlates with ASF cases, necessitating new long-term population management strategies.
TARASIUK et al. (2020) conducted a review in African Swine Fever (ASF). Wild boar population density and behavior was evaluated. Wild boar populations serve as the primary reservoir for the African swine fever virus in Europe, with their increasing density directly correlating with the number of ASF cases.
