Classical Swine Fever (CSF) is considered an endemic disease in European wild boar populations. Huge effort is paid on oral mass vaccination against CSF virus, but few is known about the efficacy of different application schemes of the control measures in space, or in dependence of the outbreak dynamics. We used an individual-based, spatially-explicit model to assess vaccination strategies under uncertain virulence. A preventive component of vaccination was found crucial for limiting disease spread and preventing disease endemicity.
