Tips on ASF - Dr. Sandra Blome
ASF in Europe: people, wild boars, vaccines and preventive
Our host, Alex Carvalho, Global Marketing Director of Swine at MSD Animal Health, talks with Dr. Sandra Blome, Deputy head of the Institute of Diagnostic Virology, head of the German National Reference Laboratory for classical swine fever (CSF) and African swine fever (ASF) the Friedrich-Loeffler-Institut in Germany.
Dr. Blome explains how is the actual situation of ASF, especially in the German borders, as it has recently transformed from an exotic disease to a panzootic threat to domestic and wild suids worldwide.
- Could the human factor be considered the main transmitting factor?
- What are the main causes of spreading the disease?
Could vaccines be the missing tool to control ASF? To combat the disease, we will have to tie strong bonds between countries and disciplines. Furthermore, we have to work on closing critical knowledge gaps.
