Outbreak of African Swine Fever (ASF) in Germany

• ASF can cause high mortality rates in both, wild boar and domestic pig

• Our research focuses on wild boar activity pattern, management & transboundary collaboration.

Wolf-farmer interaction

• Brandenburg State hosts the highest number of wolf packs in Germany

• We study factors that determine livestock-predation events such as damage-prevention type (fencing, dogs), land use pattern, property rights & prey densities.
