Table 3 Chosen strategies for CSF surveillance in wild boar for which the acceptability of hunters were evaluated

1. Currently implemented (strategy 1) 59 samples of the whole hunting bag per district within one year

2. Passive (alternative strategy 1) Sampling of wild boar found dead, shot sick or involved in a road traffic accident

3. Quarterly (alternative strategy 2) 59 samples of the whole hunting bag per district within one year; sampling only quarterly e.g. January, April, July, October

4. Sub-adults (alternative strategy 3) 59 samples, only from sub-adults, of the whole hunting bag per district within one year

5. Strategy 1 combined with 50 % passive (alternative strategy 4) Sampling 50 % of all wild boar which were found dead, shot sick or were involved in a road traffic accident plus 59 samples of the whole hunting bag per district within one year
