Overview

Survey reveals smallholder farmers' perceptions and practices regarding african swine fever, highlighting gaps in knowledge and control methods.

Key Points

  • Limited knowledge of disease control strategies was observed among smallholder farmers and value chain actors.
  • The findings indicated that the majority of participants recognized clinical signs like inappetence and red skin.
  • Participatory epidemiology tools helped document perceptions and practices linked to african swine fever spread.
  • Indirect transmission routes, especially during the rainy season, were identified as critical factors in disease spread.
