| Abstract | African swine fever (ASF) is a highly lethal viral disease of domestic pigs and wild boar. ASF was introduced to the southern Russian Federation in 2007 and is now reported to have spread in populations of wild and domestic suids. An endemic situation in the local wild boar population would significantly complicate the management of the disease in livestock. No sound method exists to identify the characteristic pattern of endemic disease, which describes infection persisting from year to year, between generations in the same wildlife population. In support of urgent management decisions at the wildlife-livestock interface, a new algorithm was constructed to test the hypothesis of an endemic disease situation in wildlife. The approach uses spatial and temporal associations between observed diagnostic data to discriminate between endemic and non-endemic patterns of case occurrence. The algorithm was validated with data from an epidemiological simulation model and applied to ASF data from southern Russia. Based on the algorithm, the null hypothesis of an endemic situation of ASF in wild boar in the region was rejected. |
