Overview

Cross-sectional study highlights risk factors and socioeconomic disparities among smallholder farmers, indicating urgent need for improved biosecurity practices.

Key Points

  • The study found that 12 ASF outbreaks led to 969 domestic pig deaths, presenting a major threat to smallholder farmers.
  • Case fatality rates for ASF occurrences varied from 77.5% to 85.2%, with an overall rate of 80.8%, illustrating the severity of the disease.
  • Significant risk factors include past encounters with ASF and lack of preventive measures, suggesting targeted interventions may reduce outbreaks.
  • Estimates indicate a total economic loss of approximately 70,085 USD in the studied area, emphasizing the substantial impact of ASF on local livelihoods.
