Imagine an industry that has been a hostage to a relentless virus for years. Millions of pigs were dying every year, farms were going bankrupt, and the only strategy was total depopulation. And now – the first ray of hope.
FAO literally states: the emergence of a safe vaccine can “significantly change the rules of the game in the global fight against ASF.” These are not just words. This is a verdict to the old conservative approaches that were based solely on herd destruction.
The key thesis of the report is that vaccination is not a panacea, but it fundamentally changes the strategy for combating the virus.
