Summary: African swine fever (ASF) is a lethal infectious disease that affects domestic and wild pigs. The virus can be transmitted directly through contact with infected animals or indirectly through contaminated feed or environments. The transmission patterns of different ASF virus isolates at the wildlife-livestock interface are still limited.

Summary: Infection with ASFV causes a deadly disease in pigs, with different immunological responses observed in wild boar and domestic pigs. CD8 alpha(+) gamma delta T cells were found to respond differently in wild boar, while domestic pigs showed higher levels of ICOS+ and CD8 alpha(+) invariant Natural Killer T cells after infection with a moderately virulent ASFV strain. These disparities in T-cell responses may explain the differences in disease progression between wild boar and domestic pigs.

Summary: African swine fever (ASF) has shown seasonal patterns in both domestic pigs and wild boar in affected European countries, with domestic pigs experiencing a peak in summer and wild boar showing peaks in both winter and summer, influenced by wild boar population dynamics and seasonality in pig farming.

Summary: Researchers found that using accelerometer sensors can detect changes in activity patterns and behavioral fingerprints of wild boars infected with African swine fever, allowing for early detection of the disease. This is crucial for timely surveillance and control of animal infections.

Summary: ASF, introduced into Georgia from Africa in 2007, continues to spread through Europe and Asia, with a high socio-economic impact. Control measures focus on removing wild boar carcasses and limiting their movements to reduce density. Some countries like the Czech Republic and Belgium have successfully eliminated ASF using these measures.

Summary: This article describes the changes in the African swine fever (ASF) epidemic in the wild boar population in Poland from 2014 to 2020. The study shows that ASF has spread to different regions of Poland and may be endemic in some areas.

Summary: The study assessed a hypothetical transmission path of African swine fever from Euro-Siberia to NE China, using maximum entropy algorithm for spatial modelling of infected wild boar and the Spatial Distribution Modeller in ArcGIS for plotting Least Cost Paths. The results suggest that infected wild boar could not have reached NE China on 2 August 2018 through the hypothesized overland transmission path due to high costs and long travel time.

Summary: African swine fever (ASF) has spread across Europe since its introduction in 2007, with the first cases detected in wild boar near the Germany-Poland border. The movement of infected wild boar represents a potential route of introduction, in addition to human activities.

Summary: African swine fever (ASF) is a viral disease that affects pigs and has severe economic impacts. The disease is mainly spread through wild boar in Europe and poses a threat to domestic pig holdings. Environmental factors like climate, land cover, human activity, and wild boar behavior play crucial roles in the occurrence of ASF in wild boar populations.

Summary: The impacts of social structure on spatial transmission dynamics are significant, with approximately 80% of transmission events occurring within family groups and weak gender biases. Understanding these effects can lead to more robust inferences for policy decisions and improve control measures.

Summary: ASF, a highly contagious and fatal viral disease, has been detected in wild boar in Southeast Asia for the first time, likely due to a viral spillover from domestic pigs. The overlap between wild boar habitat and domestic pig ranging areas creates a high-risk interface for viral transmission. Early reporting and monitoring of ASF in wild boar is essential for implementing appropriate biosecurity measures.

Summary: This study analyzed the dynamics of African swine fever (ASF) spread in wild boar populations in Poland and summarized the 2019 epidemiological situation. Results showed a significant correlation between the month, ASF affected area and ASF prevalence among wild boars. Passive surveillance was shown to be more important in ASF control and prevention compared to active surveillance.

Summary: The study on the oral vaccination of wild boars against African swine fever showed that low-dose vaccinated animals only had slight transient fever after vaccination, while one of the high-dose vaccinated wild boars died after revaccination. Further research is needed for clarification.

Summary: African swine fever (ASF) is a highly lethal infectious disease in domestic pigs and wild boar, and outbreaks have been reported in several Asian countries. While there are fewer reports of ASF in wild boar in Asia, considering their high density in areas with smallholder pig farms, the risk of ASFV infection may be underestimated. A preliminary study identified high, medium, and low-risk areas in Southeast and East Asia, with China being the highest-risk area.

Summary: Heavy metal pollution is common in the environment, originating from both natural and anthropogenic sources. Toxic metals can harm living organisms and affect reproductive systems, mainly entering livestock through feed and water sources. Monitoring toxic metal levels is crucial to prevent human poisoning.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the impact of milk protein polymorphisms on the reproductive parameters of black and white Polish Holstein-Friesian cattle. The kappa-casein and beta-lactoglobulin genes were analyzed, and reproductive indexes such as age at first calving, interpregnancy period, calving interval, and insemination index were examined. The BB genotype of the kappa-casein gene showed the most favorable values for reproductive indicators, particularly in terms of calving interval. On the other hand, beta-lactoglobulin polymorphism did not have a significant effect on the analyzed reproductive indices. Overall, the BB genotype of the CSN3 gene was found to be the most favorable for the performance of the cows in the studied herd.
