We are making an important contribution \u2013 one that is also significant from an epidemiological perspective \u2013 to containing or preventing the spread of this highly contagious disease. In our regular and continuous search for infected wild boar and carcasses, we employ a <strong>dual approach<\/strong> combining <strong>technical aerial detection<\/strong> with <strong>biological detection<\/strong> from the ground, supplemented by sophisticated, in-house-trained <strong>search and analysis algorithms<\/strong>. We work closely with hunters (including those certified to search for ASF carcasses with dogs). Our operational teams, consisting of drone pilots and hunters, work mainly at night. Upon detection of infected wild boar, real-time information is relayed via our mobile operations centre to the relevant authorities (e.g. the veterinary office).<\/p>\n<p>In addition to strategic, technical and biological search and location operations, our teams on the ground are also responsible for the appropriate culling, as well as the hygienic handling and transport of the wild boar. Given the time constraints involved, the communication technology used is also of crucial importance to the success of the operation. Furthermore, very clear procedures and protocols relating to (bio)safety are in place and must be adhered to. Appropriate recovery vehicles and equipment are utilised, facilitating ground operations following drone-based and automated detection using AI and analysis algorithms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>African Swine Fever (ASF) threatens wild and domestic pig populations in many European countries.
