Risk factors for African swine fever spread in wild boar in the Russian Federation by O. I. Zakharova, A. A. Blokhin, O. A. Burova, I. V. Yashin, F. I. Korennoy

“…Other significant factors were the length of roads, the presence of forest cover and outbreaks in domestic pigs. However, on the whole, for all the infected Subjects, the regression model demonstrated the failure of the wild boar population density factor to explain the observed ASF outbreak distribution, and this may be indicative of the existence of other epizootic drivers of the disease spread in the wild. …”
