10. Conclusion
The prevalence of traditional free-range pig production systems, to which conventional biosecurity measures cannot be applied, the lack of resources and financial incentives to adopt more modern systems, the existence of a sylvatic cycle with natural hosts able to maintain the virus in natural and pig farming habitats and the persistent circulation of ASF virus in high-contact domestic pig populations indicate that eradication and even effective management of ASF is at best a long-term goal. However, the combination of initiatives to foster smallholder and commercial pig production to satisfy the protein needs of growing urban populations, the potential for improving livelihoods offered by that demand, and growing pressure on producers to confine their pigs to protect both the pigs and society, may achieve a level of management of sufficient numbers of pigs to strongly reduce if not eliminate the occurrence of ASF.
