Article Synopsis
- - Oral vaccination with the CP7_E2alf marker vaccine is being tested to better control classical swine fever (CSF) in wild boar, overcoming limitations of previous live attenuated vaccines which could not distinguish between vaccinated and infected animals.
- - Two vaccination campaigns were conducted in hunting farms in Italy, analyzing bait uptake and immune responses, with field results showing high bait acceptance (63.7% to 98.7%) but lower antibody prevalence (33.3% to 35.1%).
- - The study indicated that while vaccine stability was maintained under various conditions, further improvements are needed for the DIVA assay to enhance the differentiation between vaccinated and infected wild boar.
