African swine fever

ASF remains present in German wild boar. Federal reporting identifies occurrence in seven Länder, while all listed domestic-pig outbreaks through 2024 were eradicated.

Exposure is livestock inventory—not inferred prevalence. Regional selection updates supported evidence; the CBA remains explicitly national because regional cost evidence is unavailable.

No compatible current Germany-specific direct-loss estimate is registered; no value is inferred.

Relevant wildlife & interface

Wildlife evidence

No compatible current national wildlife-population layer is registered.

Population denominators remain unavailable unless explicitly registered; qualitative host evidence is not converted into a count.
ILLUSTRATIVE

Illustrative scenario—country-specific intervention evidence unavailable.

The planning parameters are retained, but the BCR is not estimated in this public profile.

Trade & movement

Documented consequence

EU regionalisation preserves trade outside restricted zones; affected zones face movement controls, carcass search, fencing and enhanced biosecurity.

Registered sources document controls but not a compatible Germany-wide monetised trade consequence.

Release principle: every Germany disease has a complete decision workspace. Missing observed economics stay visible as N/A; modelled planning values are separately labelled, editable and never presented as evidence.
Sustainability & One HealthCountry-specific GHG, AMU/AMR and biodiversity results remain withheld until compatible evidence is registered; none is inferred from the disease profile.
