Rethinking the uncertainty of African swine fever virus contamination in feed ingredients and risk of introduction into the United States

Rachel A. Schambow et al.

Summary: A quantitative risk assessment model was developed to estimate the probability of ASFV-contaminated corn or soybean meal ocean vessels being imported into the United States annually. The model considered different likelihood conditions and found that recontamination had a significant impact on the risk of ASFV-contaminated soybean meal vessels entering the United States.

New perspectives for evaluating relative risks of African swine fever virus contamination in global feed ingredient supply chains

Gerald C. Shurson et al.

Summary: There is no published evidence of African swine fever virus in feed ingredients or complete feed, likely due to limitations in detection technology, data availability, and challenges. Some feed matrices were found to support virus survival longer than others in experiments, but the reasons are still unknown.

An analysis of select swine feed ingredients and pork products imported into the United States from African swine fever virus affected countries

Gilbert Patterson

Summary: This study investigated the introduction of high-risk pork products and feed ingredients from ASFV-positive countries into the United States over a 5-year period, using a novel analytical tool to quantify and categorize the items. The analysis focused on product quantity by country of origin and Port of Entry (POE), highlighting the importation trends and identifying high-risk sources and ports.

Is the COVID-19 pandemic impacting on the risk of African Swine Fever virus (ASFV) introduction into the United States? A short-term assessment of the risk factors

Angela Fanelli et al.

Summary: African swine fever (ASF) is a highly fatal contagious disease in domestic and feral swine populations, with potential severe impacts on society, economy, and public health. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the pathways and drivers for the entry of ASFV into the United States have changed, showing an increased connection with affected countries, highlighting the risk posed by ASF during a global public health crisis.

Adaptive risk-based targeted surveillance for foreign animal diseases at the wildlife-livestock interface

Ryan S. Miller et al.

Summary: Animal disease surveillance is crucial for protecting animal agriculture and detecting the introduction of foreign animal diseases. Monitoring wildlife for early identification of diseases is challenging due to the complex ecology and lack of data. To address this, we developed an adaptive risk-based surveillance approach that prioritizes surveillance areas based on risks in source and recipient host populations.

African swine fever control and prevention: an update on vaccine development

Ana Catarina Urbano et al.

Summary: African swine fever (ASF) is a lethal and highly contagious viral disease that poses a serious threat to the global swine industry. Although progress has been made in vaccine development, there are still challenges to overcome, such as cross-protection, safety, and the lack of suitable animal models.

Risk and Mitigation of African Swine Fever Virus in Feed

Megan C. Niederwerder

Summary: African swine fever poses a significant threat to global pig populations, with feed potentially serving as a route for introducing and spreading the virus. Negative countries must implement mitigation strategies to protect pigs from infection.
