Identifying Effective Biosecurity Measures for Preventing the Introduction of Classical Swine Fever in Pig Farms in Japan: Under the Condition of Absence/Presence of Observable Infected Wild Boar.

ABSTRACT: The outbreak of infectious diseases in swine, such as classical swine fever (CSF), has become a significant concern in the pig-farming industry. In Japan, after the re-emergence of CSF in 2018, farms are now exposed to the risk of transmission from infected wild boar and CSF-contaminated farms. This study aimed to identify biosecurity measures that were effective for the prevention of CSF introduction into farms during the period from the beginning of the CSF epidemic to the implementation of a vaccination campaign for domestic pigs at risk. The probability of virus introduction was assumed to be increased by the elevated risk from CSF-infected wild boar and infected farms around the farm. The risk from infected wild boar was represented by the prevalence of CSF in wild boar or the occupan
