Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRS) is still one of the swine diseases responsible for large economic losses in the US, despite of preventive and control measures implemented to reduce transmission within and between production systems. However, few studies have investigated how the different PRRSV genotypes are spreading among swine systems in the US and which are the most likely transmission pathways contributing to it.
The aim of this project is to develop a user-friendly digital platform for the real-time risk assessment of ASF introduction into the US. This platform would be scalable and could be easily adapted to evaluate other Foreign Animal Diseases (FADS). This platform will allow the gathering, update and integration of different epidemiological data for the near real-time risk assessment of ASF introduction into US through different routes.
