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.
