On August 25th to 27th, I will be at the ModAH Conference 2026. I will be presenting a poster on the work I carried on for 9 months now on deciphering how ecological, epidemiological and bio-demographic conditions can alter the risk for the African Swine Fever to become endemic following introduction of an infected individuals in a population. Here are the main results detailed on the poster:
Contacts with infected carcasses are the most influencial source of infection on the risk of endemicity.
The risk of endemicity is higher if the disease is introduced in June (hot season) rather than January or November (cold season).
A wide spatial structure is crucial for the virus to keep getting access to new hosts and maintain itself in the population.
A simple increase in the population density does not increase the risk of endemicity.
The poster can be accessed here.
On a total side note, I discovered the qrcode R package while working on my poster. It is really interesting, as many website that you can use to generate a QR code ask you to register if you want to download your code. So, I generated the code on my poster using this package, and you can see below how easy it was!
