African swine fever is freaking out U.S. pork farmers everywhere. Last year at the Iowa Pork Congress, only a handful of farmers attended a session on threat of foreign animal diseases, this January, several dozen showed up expressing concerns about the spread of African swine fever across China and now it looks like it is beginning to spread to Russia and Eastern Europe. How and what exactly can farmers do to mitigate this threat?
The first goal is to contain the disease, that likely means euthanizing all pigs, stopping their movement and getting rid of a lot of feed and manure. It’s also possible that feed ingredients manufactured in China already contain the virus and are shipping it across the world.
What do we know about this virus? It’s a large DNA virus and can spread in several ways, as we know via pigs, but also people, latching on to and surviving on surfaces long enough to transmit to the next host. Farmers can get the virus on their shoes or it can end up in processed pork products where it can survive from weeks to months. It’s linked to hemorrhagic fever and high mortality rates in pigs, other hosts such as warthogs, bush pigs and soft ticks are infected without disease signs, making the illness even more transmissible.
This spread will no doubt mean major losses for the pork industry… although lower prices for bacon fans.
