Key result
Indirect African swine fever virus transmission involves uncooked meat, contaminated feed, and blood-feeding invertebrates.
Why the study?
Most introductions of African swine fever virus into domestic pig herds are attributed to indirect virus transmission, but exact routes often remain undetermined.
This review highlights potential indirect transmission routes for African swine fever virus into domestic pig herds to inform epidemiological risk assessments and biosecurity strategies.

Supports vigilance on feed, meat, and fomites in pig herds; leaves open route-specific risk quantification for targeted controls.
Olesen et al. (2020) conducted a review in African swine fever virus (ASFV) transmission. Indirect virus transmission routes was evaluated. Indirect transmission routes of African swine fever virus into domestic pig herds include uncooked pig meat, processed products, feed, contaminated matrices, and blood-feeding invertebrates.
