Abstract

African swine fever – (ASF) is a disease affecting both farm pigs as well as wild boars, characterised by very high mortality of the animals. Therefore, in the light of possible losses to the farmers, the problem seems of key importance. Options of the virus spread control, prevention and plausible management have been numerous, even controversial at times. Farmers’ societies have tried to attribute the whole blame to wild boars and advocated the urge to depopulate the species, buy means of intensified, group hunt of the sows. Is this solutions truly reasonable, sensible and eco-friendly?
