  1. ASF between - Reports of ASF on farms during the one year between the first and second sampling visits
  2. OR odds tatio, CI confidence interval, ASF African swine fever
  3. - indicates that the model was inestimable because of skewed data
  4. aAwareness as a variable encompasses those farms where farmers expressed having knowledge on the symptoms, spread, control and prevention measures for ASF
  5. bBiosecurity measures considered were presence of a fence to the farm, controlled entrance to the pig pens (presence of gate/door) and presence of foot baths
