Understanding the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of stakeholders in reporting African swine fever cases in Abuyog, Leyte, Philippines
The findings reveal a notable gap in knowledge concerning ASF among participants, highlighting an essential need for enhanced educational initiatives. Strengthening basic ASF knowledge is vital, as it positively impacts disease recognition and, in turn, case reporting. Although there is a generally positive attitude toward ASF reporting, the lack of knowledge-seeking behavior and the variability in reporting practices based on income sources suggest a need for tailored educational programs.
