ASF is a highly fatal viral disease of domestic pigs in Sardinia it occurred in Western Europe, Caribbean countries and Brazil (1960 – 1994) and in the Caucasus and non-Caucasian Russia (2007 – present) among domestic pigs is by direct contact with infected pigs and contaminated objects and eating infected meat; it can also be via argasid ticks (Ornithodoros spp.) Common warthogs (Phacochoerus africanus) maintain the virus in a sylvatic cycle with Ornithodoros suitable protein environment like chilled or frozen pork and uncooked pork products by infected pork products; sales of pigs in the incubatory phase of the disease may occur between neighbouring countries to pig producers, exacerbated at times by drastic control measures Trade restrictions are applied to pigs and pork originating from infected areas CSF Highly viral disease of domestic pigs Worldwide with the exception of the African region, it is only endemic in Madagascar. South Africa and Mauritius have experienced epidemics. Eradicated in North CSF is transmitted directly by contact with infected pigs and contaminated objects; it can be transmitted in semen, vertically to foetuses, and under particular conditions can be airborne Long survival is possible in a suitable protein environment like chilled or frozen pork and uncooked pork products Spread over long distances is mainly by infected pork products None High mortality can cause serious losses to pig producers, exacerbated at times by drastic control measures Trade restrictions are applied to pigs
