Contrasting seasonality of African swine fever outbreaks and its drivers.

Kim Y., Nouvellet P., Rogoll L., Staubach C., Schulz K., Sauter-Louis C., Pfeiffer DU., Fournié G.

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.
