African Swine Fever (ASF) is a highly contagious viral disease that poses a significant threat to the global pig farming industry. Caused by the African Swine Fever Virus (ASFV), it primarily affects domestic and wild pigs. Although ASF does not directly affect humans, it can lead to severe illness and high mortality rates in infected pigs. The virus spreads through various means, including direct contact between infected and healthy pigs, contaminated food and water, transmission by ticks, and even through human activities. To prevent the spread of ASF, it is crucial to implement strict biosecurity measures, such as maintaining proper hygiene, controlling pig movements, and raising awareness about the disease. Early detection and prompt reporting of suspected cases are essential for effective control.
