Can flies transmit the ASF virus?
Results
Correct answer
ASF has been reproduced in pigs through the ingestion of stable flies that had fed on blood infected with the virus. Although this is not considered as a usual route of infection, flies could play a role in dissemination within a farm, but not so much in the infection of new farms.
