Confirmats dos casos de pesta porcina africana en senglars a Cerdanyola del Vallès Confirmats dos casos de pesta porcina africana en senglars a Cerdanyola del Vallès

Fa 4 mesos d'aquesta notícia. El que alguns lligaven a un problema de #bioseguretat o #biocontencio s'ha demostrat fals. El misteri de l'origen continua, però. #VPPA #PPA #ASFV #transmissió
Confirmats dos casos de pesta porcina africana en senglars a Cerdanyola del Vallès www.uab.cat/ca/biosegure...

La delecció de més de 9 kb de la variant del virus de la pesta porquina africana, #VPPA aka #ASFV, que circula per #Collserola, #BCN, és una mala noticia pq ha transformat un virus que era com un #ebola per als porcs en un altra que es molt més viatger. D'un virus reclós a un de més transmissible.

The study commissioned by the Catalan government rules out that the African swine fever outbreak originated at IRTA: "It's a strain that has never been found before." The sequencing carried out by the IRB, parallel to the official study, concludes that the Collserola variant does not match any known sample.

African swine fever virus sequences from the IRTA-CReSA facility do not match those isolated from the wild boars that died at the start of the outbreak in Cerdanyola. The #labaccident hypothesis is fading, while the contaminated food hypothesis remains. #ASFV #OneHealth en.ara.cat/society/init...

L'auditoria del CReSA en valida les instal·lacions, però no aclareix l'origen del brot El conseller d’Agricultura, Ramaderia i Pesca, Òscar Ordeig, ha assegurat que “no hi ha cap evidència que el virus [del brot de pesta porcina africana] hagi sortit del laboratori del [CReSA].” Així ho...

Bastant a la vora del final del principi, q ha de permetre començar a concentrar-se en el principi del final. Escatir d'on va venir el virus de la pesta porquina africana, aka, #vppa, o #asfv en anglès, q circula ara per Catalunya. #transmissió #aliments #bioseguretat www.vilaweb.cat/noticies/lau...

🛑🐗 No barrier is 100% wild boar-proof

So how do we manage them? 
👉 Tailor-made, context-specific measures designed with the people and landscapes.

Different methods to prevent the spread of #ASFV exist:

🚧 Fences
🛑 Repellents
🌳 Natural barriers 
🧩 Combinations

We evaluated the effectiveness of these methods.

Restricting wild boar movement is not easy but often necessary!

It is necessary for 
•    protecting crop, 
•    providing road safety, 
•    minimizing wildlife-livestock interactions and 
•    controlling #AfricanSwineFever 

What kind of separation methods are there? 👉🧵
