Details

Sciensano are currently using a model of the spread of wild boar in the context of rapid response and risk reduction for ASF (African Swine Fever). INBO will update the existing dispersal model. For this purpose INBO will feed the model with Flemish population parameters and with data on the habitat suitability of Flanders for wild boar. INBO is also responsible for drawing up the final report.
