African swine fever (ASF) is a fatal porcine virus infecting Europe’s wild boar populations that can spread to domestic pigs, threatening to ruin that industry. With outbreaks in recent years across the region, researchers are investigating the relationship between ASF, European hunting and veterinary medicine. The aim is partly to gain insights into attitudes and actions of people to stop ASF rampaging destructively through Europe.
