| Popis: | African swine fever (ASF) is a virus that has widely spread in the last years. Even if ASF is a non-human transmission virus, it affects both domestic and wild pigs with significant negative impact on country’s economy. Firstly, this paper emphasizes the main reasons for which the ASFV is deemed a very powerful virus and it presents the international and European organizations which fight against ASF. Considering the two major ways of transmission of ASF, namely sick animals and vectors, the evolution of the number and date of outbreak was analyzed for both domestic pigs and wild boars in Europe, between 2009 and 2018. The results showed that ASF virus transmission to domestic pigs was not made by the sick wild boar. |
