Description
Five authors, led by Luis Pablo Hervé-Claude, surveyed pig farmers in 2025 on five Caribbean islands about African swine fever, a deadly pig illness. The disease returned to the Americas in 2021 and rages in two nearby lands. Island farmers would be key to stopping its spread, yet little was known about their habits.
Most farms proved small and backyard run, with lively trade within each island and weak disease guards. Fewer than a third of farmers knew anything of the fever. The survey maps gaps in knowledge and daily practice. Health teams can use the results to target training and guards before the disease lands.
