ASF Transmission and Prevention
ASF is highly contagious and can have serious economic and ecological consequences.
In African countries of origin, the virus is mainly transmitted by ticks, but in Europe, it spreads through direct and indirect contact with infected animals and contaminated materials.
Strict hygiene measures are crucial for preventing ASF outbreaks, and compliance with local regulations and guidelines is essential.
Hygiene Practices to Minimize ASF Risk
- Avoid touching carcasses of potentially infected boars.
- Maintain high personal hygiene standards.
- Wash and disinfect equipment, including shoes, clothes, tools, and vehicles, used in the wild.
Effectiveness of BioPolymer+ Antibacterial Solution
ASF is known to be easily inactivated, and BioPolymer+ contains an active substance (DDAC) effective against enveloped viruses like ASF.
BioPolymer+ leaves a transparent coating on surfaces with documented virus efficacy over time and wear.
