While it is a disease that exclusively affects swine, thus posing no infectious risk to human health, the virus\u2019s resiliency and human behavior have facilitated the rapid global dissemination of the virus over the past 4 years. In this Currents in One Health, we will review its epidemiology, viral characteristics, host range, and current prevention strategies; the current perspective on what a response would look like and who would be affected; and if the virus was ever found in the US. Due to the fact that the virus affects all breeds of <jats:italic>Sus scrofa<\/jats:italic>, including those used for food and companionship, it is vital for all veterinarians to work together to keep the virus out of the US. It is only through the collaborative efforts of multiple disciplines working locally, nationally, and globally that we can contain the spread of this virus.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2460\/javma.22.06.0250","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,28]],"date-time":"2022-07-28T18:52:26Z","timestamp":1659034346000},"page":"1413-1417","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Impact of human behavior on the spread of African swine fever virus: what every veterinarian should know"],"prefix":"10.2460","volume":"260","author":[{"given":"Chris","family":"Rademacher","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary Diagnostic and Production Animal Medicine, College of Veterinary Medicine, Iowa State University, Ames, IA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Justin","family":"Brown","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary Diagnostic and Production Animal Medicine, College of Veterinary Medicine, Iowa State University, Ames, IA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Locke","family":"Karriker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary Diagnostic and Production Animal Medicine, College of Veterinary Medicine, Iowa State University, Ames, IA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1272","reference":[{"key":"ref1","series-title":"Iowa State University Center for Agricultural and Rural Development","article-title":"Impacts of African Swine Fever in Iowa and the United States","author":"Carriquiry M","year":"2020","unstructured":"Carriquiry M, Elobeid A, Swenson D, Hayes D.
