A National Web-GIS Dashboard to Support African Swine Fever Surveillance in Domestic Pigs and Wild Boars in Italy

African swine fever is a fatal disease that affects members of the Suidae family and also threatens human economic activity. Genotype II of the African swine fever virus was detected in the wild boar population in mainland Italy in 2022. Subsequently, the infection spread to domestic pig populations. To support the monitoring of the national surveillance plan and the implementation of control measures, a dedicated African Swine Fever Web-GIS dashboard (ASF Web-GIS dashboard) was developed by the Istituto Zooprofilattico Sperimentale dell'Abruzzo e del Molise "G. Caporale" (IZSAM), in collaboration with the National Reference Centre for the Study of Pestivirus and Asfivirus Diseases (CEREP) and the General Directorate for Animal Health of the Italian Ministry of Health. The ASF Web-GIS dashboard is based on Esri ArcGIS Dashboards and enables users to visualise information collected through Italy's national information systems, including data related to the surveillance plan, notified outbreaks, restricted areas, and physical barriers established to control disease spread. This dashboard is a useful tool supporting decision-makers in visualising nationwide activities carried out in support of African swine fever control measures. The ASF Web-GIS dashboard is not publicly accessible since it is intended to support ASF monitoring for Veterinary Services, Istituti Zooprofilattici Sperimentali staff, and the General Directorate for Animal Health of the Ministry of Health.
