Introduction of African swine fever to Sweden would be devastating for the national pig industry. Infected wild boar are considered the most likely route of introduction to Swedish domestic pigs and preventive measures are needed. Knowledge of how infection from wild boar to pigs can be prevented, however, is
lacking. We need to know more about the wildboar-domestic pig interface, about the nature of contacts between wild boars and pigs, how common they are, and how they could be avoided. The project will provide a basis for developing a strategy to prevent risky contacts by identifying the measures that are
most important and most resource efficient for prevention as well as management during an outbreak of African swine fever. Early detection of local spread will allow adaptation of the strategy when needed. The strategy will be useful also in the management of other infections that are spread from wild boar to pigs.
Afrikansk svinpest hotar den svenska grisindustrin. Introduktion till svenska vildsvin och vidare spridning genom direkt eller indirekt kontakt med grisar bedöms vara den troligaste smittvägen. Förebyggande åtgärder behövs för att förhindra sådan spridning, inte minst med en allt större vildsvinsstam i åtanke. Kunskapen om hur smitta från vildsvin till gris ska förhindras är dock bristfällig. Vi vet för lite om hur kontakter mellan vildsvin och grisar ser ut, hur vanliga de är, och hur de skulle kunna undvikas. Projektet avser ge underlag för en strategi för att förebygga och avvärja kontakter. Genom att identifiera vilka åtgärder som är viktigast och mest resurseffektiva både i förebyggande syfte och vid ett eventuellt utbrott av afrikansk svinpest kan en kostnadseffektiv kontrollstrategi utarbetas. Tidig påvisning av lokal smittspridning möjliggör anpassning där så behövs. Strategin kommer att vara användbar även i hanteringen av andra smittor som sprids från vildsvin till gris.

Adding flowers to the cropping system that support beneficial insects is a promising option to achieve crop protection
in Swedish agriculture and horticulture. However, the wide-spread adoption of this approach has been hampered by
limited economic benefit and the risk of propagating pests and …
