Abstract :
[en] African swine fever is a devastating disease of domestic pigs and wild boars
caused by African swine fever virus (ASFV). ASFV originates from sub-Saharan
African countries. In the last 10 years, the virus left its endemic range to spread
to eastern Europe and Russia. On September 2018, Belgian authorities reported
that ASFV had been detected in two wild boars in a southern area of the country.
One year later, no domestic pig has been infected, with the last ASFV-positive
wild boar being confirmed in mid-August 2019, suggesting that the outbreak is
now controlled. However, the dispersal dynamics as well as the specific impact of
ecological factors and intervention measures on the outbreak remain unknown.
