The module ‘Management of Infectious Disease Outbreaks in Animal Populations’ is one of my favourite subjects because the knowledge that I gained can be directly applied to control many infectious diseases endemic in local situations. Specially, during outbreak investigation and public awareness programs.

African Swine Fever (ASF) was first reported in China in 2018 and caused a dramatic economic loss in the pig industry. The learnings enable me to investigate the epidemiological study of ASF and assess the cause-effect relationships to provide valuable information for decision-making at the farm level with animal health economic factors taken into consideration.
