African swine fever (ASF) detection and diagnosis
A manual for veterinariansmanualISSN 1810-111919 FAO ANIMAL PRODUCTION AND HEALTHA frican swine fever (ASF) is a contagious viral disease that causes a haemorrhagic fever in pigs and wild boar, and is often associated with lethality of up to 100 percent. As a result, ASF can severely impact on the productivity of pig farming. This not only threatens food security and challenges the livelihoods of pig producers and other actors along the supply chain, but can also have major repercussions on international trade. With an extremely high potential for transboundary spread, the disease is today considered endemic in sub-Saharan Africa, Sardinia (Italy), and parts of the Caucasus and Eastern Europe. There exists a permanent risk of further spread of ASF from these areas due to the transboundary movements of individuals, pork products, fomites, and infected wild boar.
