This study evaluates aggregate oral fluid sampling for early detection of African swine fever virus in pigs, showing it can detect ASFV as early as 3 days post-contact.

This paper uses a mathematical model to identify intensified control strategies needed to eliminate African swine fever from U.S. swine populations within 12 months.

This study models the resource requirements for detecting an ASFV outbreak in the U.S., finding that sample collectors and lab capacity are critical to prevent delays.

The paper analyzes swine movement networks in the U.S. to identify disease spread dynamics and evaluate control strategies based on shipment data and network metrics.
