Innovative Solutions for Protecting Land Ecosystems: New Technologies for African Swine Fever Vaccines (VAX4ASF project)
African Swine Fever (ASF) is a critical threat to both agriculture and wildlife, with severe impacts on local ecosystems and economies across Europe. The VAX4ASF project, funded under Horizon 2020, addresses this issue by developing a next-generation vaccine platform to control ASF among domestic pigs and wild boar. By using advanced modelling to understand ASF transmission, particularly at the wildlife-domestic interface, the project empowers stakeholders—farmers, wildlife managers, veterinarians, and policymakers—to implement effective, science-backed strategies.
Through VAX4ASF, we’re not only enhancing animal health but also supporting sustainable land management and the protection of biodiversity. Learn more about VAX4ASF and its ongoing efforts to control ASFV here.
