Contrasting seasonality of African swine fever outbreaks and its drivers

Kim, Younjung; Nouvellet, Pierre; Rogoll, Lisa ; Staubach, Christoph ; Schulz, Katja ; Sauter-Louis, Carola ; Pfeiffer, Dirk; Fournie, Guillaume

The seasonality of African swine fever (ASF) outbreaks in domestic pigs differs between temperate and subtropical/tropical regions. We hypothesise that variations in
the importance of wild boar-to-farm and farm-to-farm transmission routes shape these contrasting patterns, and we emphasise the implications for effective ASF
control.
