“…In Spain, the final 5 years of the eradication programme alone were estimated to have cost US $92 million (Arias & Sanchez-Vizcaino 2002). Given the effect on pork production and trade as well as the costs of eradication, it has been estimated that the net benefit of preventing ASF introduction in the USA amounts to almost US $4500 million: nearly 5 per cent of the value of total sales of pork products (Rendleman & Spinelli 1994).…”

African swine fever (ASF) is a devastating haemorrhagic fever of pigs with mortality rates approaching 100 per cent. It causes major economic losses, threatens food security and limits pig production in affected countries. ASF is caused by a large DNA virus, African swine fever virus (ASFV). There is no vaccine against ASFV and this limits the options for disease control. ASF has been confined mainly to sub-Saharan Africa, where it is maintained in a sylvatic cycle and/or among domestic pigs. Wildlife hosts include wild suids and arthropod vectors. The relatively small numbers of incursions to other continents have proven to be very difficult to eradicate. Thus, ASF remained endemic in the Iberian peninsula until the mid-1990s following its introductions in 1957 and 1960 and the disease has remained endemic in Sardinia since its introduction in 1982. ASF has continued to spread within Africa to previously uninfected countries, including recently the Indian Ocean islands of Madagascar and Mauritius. Given the continued occurrence of ASF in sub-Saharan Africa and increasing global movements of people and products, it is not surprising that further transcontinental transmission has occurred. The introduction of ASF to Georgia in the Caucasus in 2007 and dissemination to neighbouring countries emphasizes the global threat posed by ASF and further increases the risks to other countries. We review the mechanisms by which ASFV is maintained within wildlife and domestic pig populations and how it can be transmitted. We then consider the risks for global spread of ASFV and discuss possibilities of how disease can be prevented.

“…The Iberian Peninsula spent approximately $100 (US) million/year to control both endemic ASF and new outbreaks (Wardley et al, 1987). In a model designed for the assessment of the economic impact an ASF outbreak would have in the U.S, Rendleman and Spinelli (1999) showed that such an incident would cost $4 500 billion both in trade embargoes and eradication.…”

“…The analysis proceeds along lines suggested by Paarlberg and Lee (1998), Rendleman and Spinelli (1999), Glauber and Narrod (2001), Yue, Beghin, and Jensen (2006), Wilson and Anton (2006), and Calvin, Krissoff, and Foster (forthcoming) for determining optimal policies when there are pest risks associated with domestic or international movement of products. The model builds upon the detailed supply and demand structure utilized by APHIS in the economic analysis for the 2004 rule.…”

This article evaluates the effects of a November 2004 phytosanitary rule that removed seasonal and geographic restrictions on the importation of fresh Hass avocados from approved orchards in Mexico to the United States. With the remaining systems approach compliance measures in place, pest risks do not substantially increase and U.S. net welfare rises by $77 million. Removal of remaining compliance measures may lead to lower net welfare gains depending on which measures are eliminated and the estimated probabilities of pest infestations.
