The outbreaks of African Swine Fever in Bulgaria have resulted in more than 100 000 pigs being culled in the northern part of the country, Bulgarian National Television (BNT) said on the evening of August 1.. Estimates from before the outbreak of African Swine Fever put the number of registered pigs in Bulgaria at a maximum 600 000.. The Bulgarian Food Safety Agency has begun checks in small towns in northern Bulgaria to see if farmers have voluntarily got rid of their pigs, the report said.. The deadline for doing so in districts in that part of Bulgaria expired on July 31. Failure to comply means a fine of 100 to 1000 leva (about 50 to 500 euro).. Efforts by veterinary authorities in Rousse, the largest city on Bulgarias Danube border, are currently aimed at controlling the outbreak of African Swine Fever in the town of Byala, where a sick pig was found in a farmyard. In the area, 140 animals will be euthanised at six unregistered small farms.. However, employees of the Regional Food Safety ...

Bulgarian Food Safety Agency on Saturday confirmed the first outbreak of African swine fever in an industrial farm in the country.. A total of about 17,000 pigs are fattened in the farm, which is located in the village of Nikolovo near Danube River in Ruse Region, the agency said in a statement.. All pigs in the farm will be culled, and meat and products produced from pigs from the farm will be destroyed, the statement said.. The first case of African swine fever in domestic pigs in Bulgaria this year was reported on July 3, and the latest outbreak brought the total number to 17.. However, the previous 16 outbreaks were in backyard farms. As a precautionary measure, 375 domestic pigs were culled so far. ...

African swine fever is spreading slowly in the Baltic countries and Poland, according to the latest epidemiological data analysed by these Member States and EFSA.. The disease is spreading at about 2 km a month in Latvia and Estonia, and 1 km a month in Lithuania and Poland. In addition, the number of infected animals found among hunted wild boar is very low (up to 3%). The outbreaks in wild boar in the Baltic countries and Poland can therefore be defined as a small-scale epidemic.. The report covers cases reported between 2014 and 2016.. This report is the outcome of a fruitful cooperation with Member States. We look forward to continuing investigations on this disease, which has serious socio-economic consequences in affected countries, says Andrea Gervelmeyer, veterinary epidemiologist at EFSA.. The first cases of African swine fever were identified in Lithuania and in eastern Poland at the beginning of 2014. The disease was subsequently reported in Latvia and Estonia. No additional ...

African swine fever virus (ASFV) is a highly contagious disease of pigs that has a near 100% mortality rate. The disease was first reported in Kenya in 1921 and was introduced to the Caucasus region when it spread to Georgia in mid-2007. Since this introduction, ASFV has spread to Armenia, Azerbaijan, Iran, and Russia. From 2007 to 2017, Russia reported more than 1,000 ASFV outbreaks that resulted in approximately 800,000 pigs being killed. From March to October 2017, there were outbreaks of ASFV in Siberia, causing concern that the disease could spread to China. In August 2018, the FAO noted that ASFV strain detected in China was similar to the strain detected in Russia in 2017 ...

The number of cases of African swine fever recorded in the Eastern European and Baltic states since the outbreak started in 2012 is three times the number of cases recorded in Russia since the first incident in 2007. The total number of cases in Eastern Europe since 2012 is 2,498 with 531 incidents reported this…

The spread of African swine fever in Bulgaria, which threatens the Balkan countrys pig breeding industry is worrying, an EU Commission spokeswoman said on Thursday.

MANILA (Reuters) - The Philippines Department of Agriculture on Tuesday threatened legal action against hog traders ignoring strict animal quarantine rules as it confirmed new cases of African swine fever infections in metropolitan Manila and a northern province.. Agriculture Secretary William Dar said the highly contagious and deadly disease was detected in another backyard hog-raising business in Quezon City in the countrys capital.. Dar, who also confirmed African swine fever outbreaks in Pangasinan province in the northern Philippines, has ordered the culling of pigs in affected areas.. The incurable disease is wreaking havoc on hog industries in China and Southeast Asia and could also spell trouble for U.S. grain exporters supplying animal feeds to virus-hit countries such as Vietnam, Myanmar and the Philippines.. Dar told reporters hog traders transporting infected pigs were to blame for the rising number of African swine fever cases in the Philippines.. All hog traders, the full force ...

In the latest episode of Contagious Thinking, join CVR PhD student Jack Hirst and postdoc Connor Bamford as they chat with Dr Charles Masembe (follow him on Twitter:@cmasembe10) about his work on some of Africas most important animal viruses.. Charles works currently on a virus called African swine fever virus (ASFV), which causes a deadly disease in domestic pigs that can cause great economic and political turmoil in affected regions. ASFV is a fascinating large DNA virus that is spread by wild pigs and the ticks that feed on them. The virus can move between the wild pigs and farmed domestic pigs. Understanding this movement is a major focus of Charles work.. Charles is a veterinarian and molecular epidemiologist by training and is an associate professor at the College of Natural Sciences at Makerere University in Uganda. He is working in a collaboration with scientists at the CVR to sequence ASFV samples from pigs across Uganda. His work is funded by a recently awarded Wellcome Trust ...

African Swine Fever virus has jumped over big distances in recent days to reach a different island in the Philippine archipelago. The virus was reported in Davao Occidental and Davao del Sur provinces, at the southern island Mindanao.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) will provide diagnostic kits, equipment and training in nuclear-derived detection techniques to countries asking for assistance in tackling the worldwide spread of the novel coronavirus causing COVID-19. Fourteen countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean have requested assistance with the diagnostic technique, known as Real-Time Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR). The Agency takes pride in its ability to respond quickly to crises, as we did in the recent past with the Ebola, Zika and African Swine Fever viruses, IAEA Director General Mariano Grossi said in a statement to the IAEA Board of Governors. Contributing to international efforts to deal with the coronavirus will remain a priority for me as long as the outbreak persists.. ...

African Swine Fever Risk Means Its Time for Action. The African swine fever (ASF) outbreak in China and in many other countries around the world is wreaking havoc on the international pork industry. Fortunately, ASF is not in the United States at this time, but the possibility of it or other foreign animal disease (FAD) means that American pig farmers must take the necessary steps to protect their farms and the domestic pork industry.. As U.S. pig farmers know, a robust export market is critical to the ongoing success of the nations pork industry. In 2018, U.S. pork and pork variety meats exports totaled 5.37 billion pounds valued at $6.392 billion, according to USDA. If an FDA such as ASF entered the United States, it would likely eliminate this entire valuation to zero for an unknown amount of time, which is why taking steps to prevent it from occurring require immediate action such as those outlined in resources in the link below..

S&T released today the ASF Master Question List (MQL), a comprehensive resource that provides an up-to-date authoritative summary of publicly available information about the virus to promote coordinated research and improved emergency response preparedness.

d) an additional zone adjacent to the zones mentioned above to prevent the further spread of the disease.. Two cases of ASF in wild boar have been recently detected in Estonia in zones already under restriction, which is adjacent to the restricted zone in Latvia where cases in wild boar and backyard pig holdings were reported over the past few weeks.. The new boundaries take account of these recent findings. Since January 2014, a total of 39 outbreaks occurred in pigs and 87 notifications in wild boar occurred in these countries.. ...

In most cases, veterinarians are helping producers work through the plans.. Thats been one of our roles - work with clients to set up the biosecurity plans, to help designate the sites, draw the maps of the sites and help make sure the program is set up properly, Yeske said.. Many of our clients have started the process and many have already completed it, he added.. In some states, veterinarians are asked to validate the SPS procedures are correctly implemented.. Veterinarians also may be needed to train others on how to test for ASF if the disease is identified in the US. It becomes a very big biosecurity risk to go out and do testing on the positive or suspect farms, Yeske said.. One of the things thats being looked at is can we do like they did with avian influenza. They had trained people who were able to go out and collect samples. This will be once weve had a positive, and were in the situation where we need to know the status of many herds, he explained.. ...

This research investigated the impact of dietary beta-glucan-rich molasses yeast powder (MYP) supplementation on the antibody response to swine fever virus (Titer) and hematology of starter-grower pig. Sixteen cross pigs (30 kg body weight) were equally split into four groups; each group with four replicates and fed four dietary treatments that consisted of basal diets (control) and the basal diets added with 2.5, 5.0, and 7.5% MYP. Feed and water were consumed ad libitum for 44 days. Feed intake (FI), MYP intake (MYPI), beta-glucan intake (BGI), and Mannan-oligosaccharide intake (MOSI) were recorded daily. Titer was evaluated after 15 (Titer15) and 30 (Titer30) days after vaccination, while hematology was analyzed at the end of the experiment. The results indicated that it was unchangeable for ADFI (P , 0.05). No impacts were observed on hematological variables and Titer15 in MYP fed pigs (P , 0.05). However, supplementation with 7.5% MYP increased platelet count (PC) and Titer30 (P , 0.01), ...

The Philippines on Monday reported its first cases of African swine fever, becoming the latest country hit by the disease that has killed pigs from Slovakia to China, pushing up pork prices worldwide.

Long before Georgia 2007 appeared, another strain of ASFV arrived in Portugal in 1957. From Lisbon, the virus crept across the country and reached Spain in 1960; it leaped across that country as pigs were shuffled between recently industrialized farms. With the aid of the soft tick Ornithodoros erraticus, the virus became entrenched in Spains population of wild boars, which mingle often with domestic pigs. For the next two decades, African swine fever flared up in Western Europe, the Caribbean and Brazil. By 1985, pork producers and the Spanish government had had enough and embarked on a successful 10-year campaign of sanitation, detection and eradication. Andrés has been probing ASFVs structure and assembly pathway ever since.. One challenge of working with ASFV is the virus size. ASFV is big - a giant virus, in fact, almost twice the size of influenza virions and thicker than the typical layer of ice in which particles are suspended for cryo-electron microscopy. This complicates sample ...

AMES, Iowa - This years Iowa Swine Day will serve pork producers by offering expert speakers who will address current issues affecting the industry.

Introduction. Classical and African swine fever (CSF, ASF) are the two most feared diseases of swine worldwide. Both are characterised by high mortality and are transboundary diseases that can have devastating effects on livelihoods that depend on pig production (Costard et al. 2009; Moennig 2000). Although they are caused by completely unrelated viruses, the pathogenesis of the two diseases is similar, therefore the clinical and pathological manifestations are strikingly alike (Moennig 2000; Penrith, Thomson & Bastos 2004a). CSF is caused by a single-stranded RNA virus of the genus Pestivirus, family Flaviviridae, while ASF is caused by a large, double-stranded DNA virus that was only allocated to its own genus, Asfivirus, the only member of the family Asfarviridae, in 1998 (Dixon et al. 2005). Both viruses affect only members of the pig family (Suidae) (Moennig 2000; Plowright, Thomson & Neser 1994). Both are highly contagious diseases in pigs and their ancestors, the Eurasian wild boar (Sus ...

Vincent ter Beek, Editor of Pig Progress. The African Swine Fever (ASF) situation in China appears to be out of control. Continental Asia will have to get used to the fact that the virus will be around for much longer. Pig Progress editor Vincent ter Beek explains why and discusses the longer-term consequences.. Kinmen Pig was found on a beach on the island of Kinmen, on New Years Eve of 2018. Many pictures were circulated on the Web. They show the animal lying on its right side, among pieces of wood, bottles and fishing nets, Id say it was about 4-5 months old. Part of its skin had turned black. The carcass was surrounded by men in white and blue biosecurity suits ...

The spread of African Swine Fever (ASF) virus in Russia in recent months has slowed down and now it has almost disappeard, reported the Russian Ministry of Agriculture.

A container with 23.94 tons of US chicken legs Chinese duty Tuesday, perhaps the beginning of a new era of trade between the two countries announced a couple of days before signing a long-awaited trade agreement. The crows feet, or phoenix claws, as they are known in Chinese recipes have been tested through the Shanghai Customs for unloading and approved, the official Securities Times reported. The event the US return of poultry meat has been scored in China five years, banned after him, he said. China has banned imports of all US poultry products in 2015, in response to cases of bird flu in America. This attitude changed in the last year, as demand for alternative animal protein increased after the spread of African swine fever in the country deadly swine herds cut and reduced pork supplies. The Asian nation is expected to increase the purchases of American agricultural products after the trade agreement signed on Wednesday in Washington, which may include a promise of $40 billion a year for ...

October 25 2018 - The U.S. Department of Agricultures (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) has agreed to lift restrictions on imports of some fresh and frozen pork from Poland that were put in place October 18, 2018 due to potential risk from African Swine Fever (ASF). After an expeditious review of export protocols, APHIS has notified Poland that we are lifting restrictions on all establishments located in the contiguous free zones. We are retaining restrictions on raw product and heat treated, but not fully cooked, product from two establishments while we complete a more thorough review. Last week, APHIS announced it was suspending entry of all imports of fresh and frozen pork from Poland while it completed a review of that countrys export protocols. There is minimal animal health risk posed by any pork products imported recently into the U.S. from Poland. There is no human health risk, as humans are not susceptible to ASF.. USDA continues to work to ensure consistency ...

The third quarter results, well below expectations, were also dragged down by volatile pork market conditions as African Swine Fever continues to devastate Asian hog herds. McCain said ASF, along with global trade issues, have made for the most erratic, irrational market conditions that this 40-year-old team has ever experienced.. Candidly, we were on the wrong side of markets that unfolded differently in the summer than what was anticipated in the spring, he said, adding that he expected more favourable market conditions to off-set the negative results in the fourth quarter.. RBC analyst Irene Nattel wrote in a Wednesday research note that the pork market and the increased SG&A expenses were the two main reasons why Maple Leaf fell well below expectations. While Maple Leafs meat results were below forecast, market volatility had also made it difficult to forecast for the company. ...

Cooper and a crew of fellow Halo fans in the UK built the above pictured Warthog. Lead by Daniel Carey-George of Planet Replicas, they created it for Operation Chastity - the fan-made Halo film Cooper directed.. Based on the M12 LRV Warthog from the Halo games, they spent a whole year working to get the aesthetics down before starting on the mechanical side, Cooper told me in an email interview. The vehicle is now 100 percent drivable (if not 100 percent street legal).. We took an old Land Rover Defender 110 that was due to be scrapped and removed everything but the chassis and engine, he said. New wheels were put on, a steel frame constructed, and the body assembled using plywood and fiberglass to create the familiar Halo Warthog shape.. In fact, those of you interested in the nitty-gritty construction details, can read all about how this Warthog was created on the Operation Chastity website right here.) And you can see it in action in this fan documentary Cooper directed: ...

During the past decade, African swine fever (ASF) has spread from the Caucasus region to eastern European Union countries affecting domestic pig and wild boar populations. In order to avert ASF spread, mitigation measures targeting both populations have been established. However, despite these efforts, ASF has been reported in thirteen different countries (Georgia, Azerbaijan, Armenia, the Russian Federation, Ukraine, Belarus, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Moldova, Czech Republic, and Romania). In the absence of an effective vaccine or treatment to ASF, introduction and spread of ASF onto domestic pig farms can only be prevented by strict compliance to control measures. This study systematically reviewed available measures to prevent the spread of ASF in the EU domestic pig sector distinguishing between commercial, non-commercial, and outdoor farms. The search was performed in PubMed and using a common browser. A total of 52 documents were selected for the final review process, which included

Asia is home to 4.6 billion more than half of the planets population and most of them rely heavily on a pork diet. China with a population of almost 1.5 billion people have suffered the biggest impact of African Swine Fever, more than 55% of Chinese pigs - hundreds of millions of animals - have now been lost, and the result has been a chronic shortage of pork and rocketing price. The disease is eating up pig populations of South East Asia. Vietnam and the Philippines have seen some of the worst outbreaks in the region. The latest country to report an outbreak of African swine fever (ASF) is Indonesia, specifically in the province of North Sumatra, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations confirmed on Dec. 12. The disease has also been detected in Mongolia, Cambodia, South Korea, North Korea, Myanmar and East Timor, according to the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation. Outside of Asia, the OIE said the disease is also present in parts of Eastern Europe and sub-Saharan Africa ...

In the Ramenskoye district of the Moscow region recorded outbreak of African swine fever, reports Interfax.. Specialists of the Rosselkhoznadzor found in the enterprise agro Konstantinovo the violation of a number of veterinary standards and requirements. Absent heat-treatment of the feed, worked a disinfection barrier.. From African swine fever (ASF) has killed 17 adult animals and 24 pigs. Earlier, three infected pigs were sold to private hands, the buyer did not know about the disease.. On the farm goes the extra sanitization and destruction of livestock. Infected animals will be killed in a bloodless manner. Because of the virus, the enterprise may lose more than 200 animals.. This year the Rosselkhoznadzor expects more than 300 outbreaks in Russia. Most likely the risk of ASF in Mordovia, Udmurtia, Mari El, Tatarstan, the Tver and Kostroma regions.. Last week the head of the Ministry Alexander Tkachev said that the loss of the Russian farms from Achs for 10 years amounted to more than 5 ...

Classical swine fever virus (CSFV) infection causes significant losses of pigs, which is characterized by hemorrhage, disseminated intravascular coagulation and leucopenia. The swine vascular endothelial cell is a primary target cell for CSFV. The aim of this study was to determine the role of CSFV infection in inducing oxidative stress (OS) in vascular endothelial cells. We demonstrated that CSFV infection induced oxidative stress in swine umbilical vein endothelial cells (SUVECs), characterized by the induction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and the elevations of porcine antioxidant proteins thioredoxin (Trx), peroxiredoxin-6 (PRDX-6) and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) expression. Furthermore, cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), a pro-inflammatory protein related to oxidative stress, was up-regulated while anti-inflammatory protein peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPAR-γ), an important mediator in vascular functional regulation, was down-regulated in the CSFV infected cells. In addition,

Several emerging pestiviruses have been reported lately, some of which have proved to cause disease. Recently, a new ovine pestivirus (OVPV), isolated from aborted lambs, with high genetic identity to classical swine fever virus (CSFV), has proved to induce reproductive disorders in pregnant ewes. OVPV also generated strong serological and molecular cross‐reaction with CSFV. To assess the capacity of OVPV to infect swine, twelve piglets were infected either by intranasal or intramuscular route. Daily clinical evaluation and weekly samplings were performed to determine pathogenicity, viral replication and excretion and induction of immune response. Five weeks later, two pigs from each group were euthanized and tissue samples were collected to study viral replication and distribution. OVPV generated only mild clinical signs in the piglets, including wasting and polyarthritis. The virus was able to replicate, as shown by the RNA levels found in sera and swabs and persisted in tonsil for at least ...

Surachai Sutthitham, president of Swine Raisers Association of Thailand, said the checkpoints will have antiseptic sprays to douse down all trucks carrying ...

The early identification of classical swine fever epizootics is hampered by difficulties in recognising early signs of infection, due to a lack of specific clinical signs. In addition many textbook descriptions of CSF are based on observations of disease caused by historic, mainly genotype 1, strains. Our objective was to improve our knowledge of the diverse range of signs that different CSFV strains can cause by characterising the experimental infection of domestic pigs with both a recent strain of CSFV and a divergent strain. Conventional pigs were inoculated with a genotype 2.1 isolate, that caused an outbreak in the UK in 2000, and a genotype 3.3 strain that is genetically divergent from European strains. This latter strain is also antigenically distinct as it is only poorly recognised by the CSFV-specific monoclonal antibody, WH303. Transmission was monitored by use of in-contact animals. Clinical, virological and haematological parameters were observed and an extended macro- and ...

The aim of this paper is to evaluate the African swine fever (ASF) outbreak that began in 1978 in Paracambi municipality, Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil, and the steps taken by the Brazilian authorities to eradicate the disease. The presence of ASF in the country was confirmed by isolating the virus, and its pathogenicity was certified by the laboratory of the Plum Island Disease Center, New York, United States. Even before the laboratory results became available, the Brazilian Agriculture Ministry declared an Animal Health Emergency, in which the official Veterinary Services adopted rapid control measures to restrain and eradicate the disease. These control measures contributed to the reorganisation of the national swine industry and stimulated the use of high-technology production techniques, as well as an improvement in herd health consciousness. All this contributed to Brazil becoming the largest meat exporter in the world. ...

At his regular weekly round-up meeting with stakeholders, the Governments Chief Veterinary Officer, Jim Scudamore, emphasised the importance and reasons behind the current control measures against the outbreak of classical swine fever in East Anglia.

hybridization patterns, the distinct genotypes of CSFV Brecent years. It can detect different pathogens in a could be differentiated. The results showed that the piece of chip and can differentiate the various CSFV amplified by primer CP5.6 could be classified into genotypes in the same species. In 2003, a bio-chip three genotypes, including the native, invaded, and diagnosis system was established by using classical lapinized hog cholera vaccine virus by hybridization swine fever virus (CSFV) as a model. Nucleotide with oligonucleotide probe. No cross reaction was sequences of classical swine fever virus were collected found when the bio-chip was hybridized with bovine from the GenBank, and the domestic CSFV field strains diarrhea disease virus which was closely related to the were sequenced. These sequence data were analyzed with a computer software by sequence alignment and apair of universal primers, which could amplify different News source: National Veterinary Research Insti- ...

Zdravilo Porcilis Pesti so preučevali v okviru dveh terenskih študij varnosti, eni na pitancih in eni na svinjah, pri čemer sta bila uporabljena različna odmerka cepiva. Terenske študije potrjujejo rezultate laboratorijskih preizkusov varnosti in kažejo, da je izdelek varen za ciljne živali (pujski od 5 meseca dalje) in najobčutljivejšo kategorijo živali (breje svinje).. Glavno merilo učinkovitosti pri terenskih študijah s pujski je bilo preživetje pujskov, če so bili izpostavljeni virusu KPK pozneje v življenju. Pujski so bili testirani tudi za viremijo (prisotnost virusa v krvi). Začetek in trajanje imunosti so merili na podlagi protiteles proti antigenu (E2) virusa KPK, ki so jih tvorili pujski. Maternalno pridobljena protitelesa niso vplivala na rezultate cepljenja.. ...
