Abstract

African swine fever: ArcGIS for modeling risk of the disease spread
Track: Agriculture
Authors: Fedor Korennoy

African swine fever is the viral disease of pigs that can lead up to 100% mortality among infected animals and causes huge economic losses in the Russian Federation. The space-time analysis of the disease spread conducted by means of ArcGIS tools allowed to develop a model that detects a high risk area of the infection diffusion from an affected site. Recommendations for veterinary services were proposed to improve preventive measures by adjusting sizes and shapes of surveillance zones
