For the monitoring of wild boar interactions with conspecific carcasses, seven wild boar carcasses were placed in different sites in the Czech Republic during winter season. Data were collected by camera traps. In total, 732 visits were recorded of wild boars at the carcass sites. Direct contact with the carcass was detected in 81% of the records. Cannibalism was observed in 9.8% of all recorded visits. The first direct contact was observed on average 30 days after the carcass had been placed in its respective site. Cannibalism was observed on average after 70 days. The effect of sex-age class on direct contact was not proven in our study. The presented findings show that cannibalism in wild boar can play a substantial role in the ASF epidemic. These results highlighted the importance of the removal of infected carcasses from the habitat, which is crucial for African swine fever eradication.

经证实的野猪食人行为及其在非洲猪瘟传播中的可能作用。

为了监测野猪与特定specific体的相互作用，在冬季，将七个野猪car体放置在捷克共和国的不同地点。数据是通过相机陷阱收集的。总共记录了732次visit体现场的野猪造访。81％的记录中发现与with体直接接触。在所有记录的访问中，有9.8％的人有食人行为。在将direct体分别放置在其相应位置后平均30天，观察到首次直接接触。70天后平均观察到食人症。性别年龄对直接接触的影响尚未在我们的研究中得到证实。提出的发现表明，野猪中的自相残杀在ASF流行中可发挥重要作用。这些结果突显了从栖息地中清除受感染尸体的重要性，
