Indicates possible non-transmitting recovery from highly virulent ASFV; leaves open implications for wild boar surveillance and control strategies.
The ASFV strain from north-eastern Estonia remains highly virulent in wild boar, though survival without transmission is possible.
Nurmoja et al. (2017) studied African swine fever. Oronasal inoculation with ASFV strain from north-eastern Estonia vs. Sentinels (for transmission assessment) was evaluated on Disease course, mortality, and transmission. Oronasal inoculation with the ASFV strain from north-eastern Estonia caused acute, severe disease in European wild boar, with one animal recovering and showing no transmission to sentinels.
