Outbreak of African swine fever reported in Jiangsu
    2018-08-20  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

AN outbreak of African swine fever has been discovered at a farm in the city of Lianyungang, in eastern China’s Jiangsu Province, Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs said yesterday .

The farm in Haizhou District has reported 615 infected pigs and 88 have died after deaths began to be registered Aug. 15, the ministry said in an online statement.

The agricultural ministry has sent teams to Jiangsu, where local authorities have initiated an emergency response mechanism to block, cull, and disinfect the affected pigs.

The situation is under control, said the ministry.

Earlier this month, an outbreak of African swine fever was discovered on a farm in Shenyang, capital of Northeast China’s Liaoning Province. It was China’s first outbreak of the disease.

Experts in Northeast China’s Heilongjiang Province are looking into a local pig breeding company, following an outbreak of African swine fever in a slaughterhouse in Central China’s Henan Province.

The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs reported the outbreak of the disease in the city of Zhengzhou on Thursday and said the slaughterhouse had bought 260 pigs from a market in Tangyuan County, Jiamusi in Heilongjiang.

Heilongjiang Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Bureau said it was found that the pigs were from a local company. They traveled 2,000 km and arrived at Zhengzhou on Aug. 14.

African swine fever is a highly contagious, viral disease that infects pigs. It does not affect humans or other animal species. (Xinhua)
