ASF in Belgium: strong western progression of the virus

After the discovery, on January 8th, 2019, of 2 ASF-positive wild boars in the strengthened surveillance area between Meix-devant-Virton and Sommethonne, the operational control areas will be adjusted bearing in mind the western progression of the virus.

Figure 1: The spreading is further reduced in animals that obtain a better quality protection (piglets born to multiparous sows) than in piglets born to primiparous sows. In the nursery stage, the animals that have become infected in the presence of a certain level of maternal antibodies will not develop immunity actively, so the virus will be able to infect and cause recurrent influenza. Finally, the presence, at the same time, of different batches of animals with different ages facilitates the spreading of the virus between production batches, therefore perpetuating the infection.
