The World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) in collaboration with City University of Hong Kong (CityU), commissioned a study on African swine fever (ASF) cross-border risk assessment in South-East Asia, China, Timor Leste, and Papua New Guinea to better understand the different risk pathways for ASFV (re)introduction in the region. As part of the study, the ASF risk assessment manual was developed to guide country participants when undertaking the entry risk assessment (cross-border risk assessment) in their respective countries.
This manual includes an entry assessment component as defined in an OIE risk analysis framework, which consists of describing the biological pathways necessary for an importation activity to introduce pathogenic agents into a particular environment, and estimating the probability of that complete process occurring. It provides a guide for cross-border qualitative risk assessment.
