The need to take into account pig farms
...
In order to reduce the risk of Ebola or Marburg virus amplification in pigs,
public and animal health authorities should:
- conduct a risk assessment to determine if there are pig farms within
proximity to the outbreak;
- implement control measures to prevent pig-to-human transmission,
including strengthening the food production system;
- contain confirmed Ebola infection in pig populations;
- apply appropriate biosafety measures in order to prevent bats from
introducing the Ebola virus into pig populations."We are in this breathing space before it happens. We do not know how long that breathing space is going to be.
