African swine fever epidemic occurred in Shennongjia wild boar. Why do experts say that the harm is probably more serious than domestic pigs?

Wild boar is difficult to manage, and it is difficult to prevent and control, which one? Three difficulties? This will lead to the terrible consequences of swine fever.

Wild boar has a wide range of activities? It is difficult to manage and its activity path cannot be clearly defined.

This time, there was an African swine fever epidemic in Shennongjia wild boar. The most likely origin is that some pig farmers have released domestic pigs to a certain extent. The meat quality of free-range pigs is more elastic and the price is much more expensive than ordinary pork. Sometimes, some people specialize in catching wild boar and domestic pigs to breed hybrid piglets. Wild boar is different from white-skinned pig. They are very active, looking for food in Shan Ye. Because the scope of action is too large, their whereabouts can not be familiar to epidemic control personnel, let alone further prevention.

Wild boar has a high physical quality? It hinders the monitoring of viruses and is difficult to prevent.

Because they have been used to living in the wild for many years, the physical condition of wild boar is much better than that of domestic pigs, and virus antibodies may generally be produced. After the situation, the virus is still stored in the wild boar, and I don't know where it will spread. Asymptomatic on the surface, secretly spreading in private, it is more likely to trigger the African swine fever epidemic in Shennongjia. Classical swine fever will not stop in animals and pigs, and viruses with RNA genes are the favorite mutations, so it is difficult to show the initial stage of this epidemic.

The number of wild boar is difficult to estimate, and the side effects of catching wild boar are great? The unknown is too big to control.

If swine fever occurs, the most direct and effective control method is to kill and bury the sick pigs directly, which sounds like a great loss, but it also fundamentally cuts off the source of infection of the virus. Pork in China has reached a historic peak. Because of the high infectivity of classical swine fever, many pig farms have been forced to close, which will make pork in short supply. The number of wild boar in Shennongjia is unclear, and the serious consequences are unpredictable. Facing the unknown is the most helpless and aimless constraint of prevention and control experts. It is even more difficult to catch wild boar in Shennongjia. Shennongjia has a good ecological environment, and catching wild boar will destroy the natural environment to a great extent, fearing that the loss will outweigh the gain.
