| Abstract | The implementation of management activities depends on both the attitude of the people performing the work and their understanding of why the work should be performed. In the context of animal husbandry, the implementation of such practices is crucial for the functionality of biosecurity. Therefore, it is important to know how farmers perceive biosecurity as a whole. An anonymous online survey was conducted among German farmers. In addition to general data about their farm, information about their existing concept of biosecurity, as well as about the assessment of possible introduction routes for animal diseases into the farm with regard to their likelihood, was gathered. Furthermore, information on measures to protect their farm against disease introduction were retrieved. Analysis showed that in general, farmers were aware of the importance of biosecurity and consequently had concepts of biosecurity on their farms. However, awareness about dangerous introduction routes for animal diseases into a farm was associated with a lack of knowledge of how to improve the measures in these areas. The role of the veterinarian in the context of biosecurity was highlighted and further problematic areas were indicated. Overall, the high level of commitment from farmers indicated a good implementation of daily practices. |

| Abstract | Since the first occurrence of African swine fever (ASF) in wild boar in Germany in 2020, the disease has primarily affected the wild boar population in the eastern part of the country close to the border with Poland. Local hunters play a crucial role in implementing surveillance and control. To evaluate their perceptions of existing control measures and analyze regional differences between hunters from ASF-affected and non-affected regions, a questionnaire study was conducted among the German hunting community. Hunters from non-affected areas held a more optimistic view regarding the effectiveness of control measures compared to hunters from affected areas. However, control measures that hinder hunting were generally perceived as ineffective. Measures that collided with hunters' understanding of fair hunting practices were regarded as controversial. Financial incentives and reducing bureaucracy were the most favored approaches to increase hunters' participation. Moreover, the possibility of eating or selling the meat of hunted wild boar and the provision of infrastructure for implementing ASF control were considered motivating. Thus, this study highlights the importance of compensating hunters and addressing their concerns to maintain their engagement in ASF control. To enhance compliance with controversial measures, thoughtful communication and raising awareness are essential. |

| Abstract | Tierseuchen scheinen sich mehr denn je auszubreiten. Globalisierung, immer mehr Menschen auf der Erde, die in immer entlegenere Regionen vordringen sowie die durch den Klimawandel bedingte Veränderung der Ökosysteme befeuern diesen Prozess. Das Friedrich-Loeffler-Institut (FLI), Bundesforschungsinstitut für Tiergesundheit, forscht zur Gesundheit und zum Wohlbefinden lebensmittelliefernder Tiere sowie zum Schutz der Menschen vor Infektionen, die zwischen Tier und Mensch übertragbar sind. Das FLI erarbeitet dabei Präventionsmaßnahmen, versucht eine bessere und schnellere Diagnostik zu etablieren und die Grundlagen für moderne Bekämpfungsstrategien zu schaffen, um die Entstehung und/oder Verbreitung viraler Infektionen zu verhindern. Die Verhinderung der grenzüberschreitenden Ausbreitung von Tierseuchen steht hierbei immer öfter im Fokus. Mehrere Faktoren, darunter die weltweite Mobilität der Menschen, der Handel und der Klimawandel, können sich auf neu auftretende Krankheiten auswirken. Jüngste Beispiele von Krankheitsausbrüchen in Europa verdeutlichen die Risiken. Beispiele sind hier: BTV 8, Schmallenberg Virus, West Nil Fieber, hochpathogene Geflügelpest H5N8 und H7N7. Das Risiko kann nicht auf null reduziert werden, da die Vorhersagbarkeit von Ausbrüchen begrenzt ist, aber eine genaue Beobachtung der globalen Tiergesundheitssituation, eine verbesserte Überwachung (Früherkennung, Syndrom-, risikobasierte Überwachung, Sentinel-Herden und Citizen Science) können dazu beitragen, die Risiken zu verringern und das Ausmaß der Ausbrüche zu begrenzen. Der Erhalt von Lebensräumen und der Biodiversität sind weitere umsetzbare Schutzmaßnahmen. Animal diseases seem to be spreading more than ever. Globalization, more and more people on earth who are penetrating ever more remote regions and the changes in ecosystems caused by climate change are fueling this process. The Friedrich Loeffler Institute (FLI), Federal Research Institute for Animal Health, conducts research on the health and well-being of food-producing animals ... |

| Abstract | To control African swine fever (ASF) efficiently, easily interpretable metrics of the outbreak dynamics are needed to plan and adapt the required measures. We found that the spread pattern of African Swine Fever cases in wild boar follows the mechanics of a diffusion process, at least in the early phase, for the cases that occurred in Germany. Following incursion into a previously unaffected area, infection disseminates locally within a naive and abundant wild boar population. Using real case data for Germany, we derive statistics about the time differences and distances between consecutive case reports. With the use of these statistics, we generate an ensemble of random walkers (continuous time random walks, CTRW) that resemble the properties of the observed outbreak pattern as one possible realization of all possible disease dissemination patterns. The trained random walker ensemble yields the diffusion constant, the affected area, and the outbreak velocity of early ASF spread in wild boar. These methods are easy to interpret, robust, and may be adapted for different regions. Therefore, diffusion metrics can be useful descriptors of early disease dynamics and help facilitate efficient control of African Swine Fever. |

| Abstract | Targeted search for wild boar carcasses is essential for successful control of African swine fever (ASF) in wild boar populations. To examine whether landscape conditions influence the probability of finding ASF-positive carcasses, this study analyzed Global Positioning System (GPS) coordinates of Latvian wild boar carcasses and hunted wild boar, extracted from the CSF/ASF wild boar surveillance database of the European Union, and random coordinates in Latvia. Geographic information system (GIS) software was used to determine the landscape type and landscape composition of carcass detection sites and to measure distances from the carcasses to nearest waterbodies, forest edges, roads and settlements. The results of the automated measurements were validated by manually analyzing a smaller sample. Wild boar carcasses were found predominantly in forested areas and closer to waterbodies and forest edges than random GPS coordinates in Latvia. Carcasses of ASF-infected wild boar were found more frequently in transitional zones between forest and woodland shrub, and at greater distances from roads and settlements compared to ASF-negative carcasses and random points. This leads to the hypothesis, that ASF-infected animals seek shelter in quiet areas further away from human disturbance. A detailed collection of information on the environment surrounding carcass detection sites is needed to characterize predilection sites more accurately. |
