SPARE oral presentation at SAFEPORK 2017 –21-24 August 2017, Foz do Iguaçu , Brazil
An oral presentation on the Classical Swine Fever release assessment was accepted at the 12th International Symposium on the Epidemiology and Control of Biological, Chemical and Physical Hazards in Pigs and Pork, 21-24 August 2017, Foz do Iguaçu , Brazil
Abstract: The threat of incursion of exotic animal pathogens into the European Union (EU) Member States (MS) via transmission routes such as human travel and trade of live animals and their products is dynamic and needs to be continually re-assessed. Here, we present a quantitative spatial entry assessment model for assessing the risk of incursion of exotic pig diseases such as Classical Swine Fever (CSF) into the EU.
An extended abstract is in the proceedings book which is available online here: http://lib.dr.iastate.edu/safepork/2017/allpapers/44/

Decision-makers and risk managers are often called upon to prioritise on and recommend suitable measures to prevent the risk of introduction and spread of pathogens. The main objective of this study implemented within the SPARE project was to assess the perceptions of experts in Italy, Switzerland and the United Kingdom concerning the importance, effectiveness, feasibility, costs and acceptability of selected biosecurity measures to prevent the introduction and limit the spread of rabies, blue tongue (BT) and classical swine fever (CSF).
