Duration of circulation of ASFV infection within simulated wild boar populations in Estonia under differing assumptions about the proportion of infections that result in long‐term infectiousness (i.e. carrier animals)


• Fade‐out graphs reflect the effect of differing proportions of infected animals developing into a (lifelong) carrier status (worst case version). Following initial introduction of infection in the simulation area (t = 0, x‐axis), the graph presents the percentage of simulation runs that still contained either infectious animals or carcasses attributable to ASF infection (y‐axis) at a given point of time.
