WG4: ASF infection dynamics and control Forum

WG4 includes epidemiologists that will collect and analyze data on hosts, vectors and occurrence of ASF cases combining these with environmental parameters databases using novel statistical tools and Geographical Information Systems. Modelling of the relevant disease data can aid in the discovery of new epidemiological aspects of disease spread. Models of monitoring, early reporting and determining high-risk areas for further disease spread will also be a focus. Measures for optimal control and prevention of ASF will be defined.
