The European Commission asked EFSA to provide study designs for the investigation of four research domains (RDs) according to major gaps in knowledge identified by EFSA in a report published in 2019: (RD 1) African swine fever (ASF) epidemiology in wild boar; (RD 2) ASF transmission by vectors; (RD 3) African swine fever virus (ASFV) survival in the environment, and (RD 4) the patterns of seasonality of ASF in wild boar and domestic pigs in the EU. In this Scientific Opinion, the second RD on ASF epidemiology in wild boar is addressed. Twenty-nine research objectives were proposed by the working group and broader ASF expert networks and 23 of these research objectives met a prespecified inclusion criterion. Fourteen of these 23 research objectives met the predefined threshold for selection and so were prioritised based on the following set of criteria: (1) the impact on ASF management; (2) the feasibility or practicality to carry out the study; (3) the potential implementation of study results in practice; (4) a possible short time-frame study (< 1 year); (5) the novelty of the study; and (6) if it was a priority for risk managers. Finally, after further elimination of three of the proposed research objectives due to overlapping scope of studies published during the development of this opinion, 11 research priorities were elaborated into short research proposals, considering the potential impact on ASF management and the period of one year for the research activities.
欧盟委员会要求欧洲食品安全局（EFSA）根据其在2019年发布的一份报告中确定的主要知识空白，提供针对四个研究领域（RDs）的研究设计：（研究领域1）野猪中的非洲猪瘟（ASF）流行病学；（研究领域2）病媒传播的非洲猪瘟；（研究领域3）非洲猪瘟病毒（ASFV）在环境中的存活情况，以及（研究领域4）欧盟野猪和家猪中非洲猪瘟的季节性模式。在本科学意见中，涉及了关于野猪中非洲猪瘟流行病学的第二个研究领域。工作组和更广泛的非洲猪瘟专家网络提出了29个研究目标，其中23个研究目标符合预先设定的纳入标准。这23个研究目标中有14个达到了预先定义的选择阈值，因此根据以下一组标准进行了优先排序：（1）对非洲猪瘟管理的影响；（2）开展研究的可行性或实用性；（3）研究结果在实践中的潜在应用；（4）可能的短期研究（<1年）；（5）研究的新颖性；以及（6）是否是风险管理者的优先事项。最后，由于在本意见制定过程中发表的研究范围重叠，又进一步排除了三个提议的研究目标，考虑到对非洲猪瘟管理的潜在影响以及为期一年的研究活动，将11个研究重点细化为简短的研究提案。
