| الوصف: | In recent decades, wild boar populations have been increasing worldwide due to several potentialcauses, including human-induced and natural environmental changes and biological andecological factors. In Europe, this phenomenon has several economic, social and environmentalimplications such as the increase of agricultural and forest damage, road traffic accidents andpotential ecological impact on animal and plant biodiversity. In addition, wild boar populationgrowth and expansion can contribute to the maintenance and dissemination of infectiouspathogens affecting animal and human health. In this context, the emergence of African swinefever (ASF) in Europe has become a serious challenge for animal disease control. The highsusceptibility of wild boar to ASF infections and the capacity of the virus to remain infective inwild boar carcasses require a combination of wildlife management and veterinary strategies inorder to eradicate this virus from EU forests. The goal of this chapter is to provide a thoroughoverview of those efforts. After illustrating the current situation of wild boar populations inEurope, the chapter describes the different methods applied by wildlife managers in the absenceof ASF. Subsequently, the chapter reviews different approaches and tools applied in the contextof ASF control, with a particular focus on the strategies implemented by countries that weresuccessful in their eradication, such as Belgium and the Czech Republic. The last section of thechapter highlights areas that require future research to improve ASF management in natural wildboar populations, which remains a serious challenge for the large majority of countries in the EU. |
