In October 2019, South Korea’s first case of African swine fever (ASF) was reported in wild boar in the north of the country, leading to the implementation of a 2300 km-long fencing strategy, which, however, failed to stop the ASF wavefront from moving southward.
In this new article, titled A spatially-heterogeneous impact of fencing on the African swine fever wavefront in the Korean wild boar population, WiLiMan-ID researchers investigate the wavefront dynamics in different regions of South Korea and assess the effectiveness of the fencing measures on ASF dispersal and wavefront velocity.
