They are largely hunted by rural populations as a major source of income and protein. They can also represent a potential source of pathogens for domestic animals and people. For example, it is hypothesized that bushpigs might compromise African swine fever (ASF) eradication programs by sporadically transmitting the virus to domestic pigs. However, available knowledge on the distribution of bushpigs in Madagascar is limited. In this study, we estimated the distribution of bushpigs on Madagascar using a species distribution model (SDM). We retrieved 206 sightings of bushpigs in Madagascar during 1990\u20132016 and predicted the distribution by using 37 climatic, geographic, and agricultural\/human variables related to the presence of bushpigs and running a presence-background maximum entropy SDM. Our model identified three main areas with a high suitability for bushpigs: in the north, central-western, and east of the island (AUC\u2009=\u20090.84). The main contributors to the model were the vegetation index (51.3%), percentage of land covered by trees (17.6%), and annual averaged monthly precipitation (12.6%). In addition, we identified areas in central Madagascar with a high density of domestic pigs and a high suitability score for bushpigs. These results may help to identify bushpig areas at the interface with domestic pigs to assess the risk of pathogen transmission and to design ecological assessments, wildlife management studies, or targeted surveillance and research studies related to many bushpig-borne pathogens, such as ASF, which is an endemic problem in the country, as well as zoonotic diseases such as cysticercosis and hepatitis E. Our approach could also be extrapolated to other species of wild swine in other countries.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2023\/7976252","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,1]],"date-time":"2023-03-01T01:50:07Z","timestamp":1677635407000},"page":"1-10","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["A Maximum Entropy Species Distribution Model to Estimate the Distribution of Bushpigs on Madagascar and Its Implications for African Swine Fever"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2023","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8119-7057","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Jos\u00e9 Manuel","family":"D\u00edaz-Cao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Animal Disease Modeling and Surveillance, Department of Medicine and Epidemiology, School of Veterinary Medicine, University of California Davis, Davis, USA"},{"name":"Departamento de Patolox\u00eda Animal, Facultade de Veterinaria Lugo, Universidade de Santiago de Compostela, Lugo, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"N\u00e1rjara","family":"Grossmann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Animal Disease Modeling and Surveillance, Department of Medicine and Epidemiology, School of Veterinary Medicine, University of California Davis, Davis, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Steven M.","family":"Goodman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago, USA"},{"name":"Association Vahatra, Antananarivo, Madagascar"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jaime","family":"Bosch","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Animal Health Department, Centro de Vigilancia Sanitaria Veterinaria (VISAVET), Complutense University of Madrid, Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Helene","family":"Guis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Epidemiology and Clinical Research Unit, Institut Pasteur de Madagascar, Antananarivo, Madagascar"},{"name":"ASTRE, Universit\u00e9 Montpellier, CIRAD, INRAE, Montpellier, France"},{"name":"FOFIFA-DRZVP, Antananarivo, Madagascar"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Miatrana","family":"Rasamoelina","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"FOFIFA-DRZVP, Antananarivo, Madagascar"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rianja","family":"Rakotoarivony","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ASTRE, Universit\u00e9 Montpellier, CIRAD, INRAE, Montpellier, France"},{"name":"FOFIFA-DRZVP, Antananarivo, Madagascar"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5451-7767","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Ferran","family":"Jori","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ASTRE, Universit\u00e9 Montpellier, CIRAD, INRAE, Montpellier, France"},{"name":"Department of Zoology and Entomology, University of Pretoria, Pretoria, South Africa"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7162-2582","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Beatriz","family":"Mart\u00ednez-L\u00f3pez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Animal Disease Modeling and Surveillance, Department of Medicine and Epidemiology, School of Veterinary Medicine, University of California Davis, Davis, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"key":"1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1098\/rstb.2009.0086"},{"key":"2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/s41598-020-77279-5"},{"key":"3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fcosc.2022.732626"},{"key":"4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"388","DOI":"10.1017\/9781316941232.037","article-title":"Wild and feral pigs: disease transmission at the interface between wild and domestic pig species in the old and the new world","volume-title":"Ecology, Conservation and Management of Wild Pigs and Peccaries","author":"F.
