R0

Research Question

  • Improve knowledge of the basic reproduction number (R0) of different strain of ASFV in the different host species

Research Gaps and Challenges

  • Assess the rate of transmission of strains of ASFV of different virulence in infected-contact animal experiments

State Of the Art

  • Several studies were conducted to estimate the R0 for ASF across the years. For the Malta’78 isolate, a first
    approximation of the basic R0 resulted in an estimate of 18.0 (6.90–46.9). For the Georgia 2007/1 ASFV strain, models
    showed that R0 is 2·8 [95% confidence interval (CI) 1·3–4·8] within a pen and 1·4 (95% CI 0·6–2·4) between pens
