The African swine fever virus has spread to the Poltava region

An outbreak of African swine fever was recorded in the Poltava region, as a result of which quarantine measures were introduced in four villages. This was reported by the State Emergency Service (ESES) in the region.

The outbreak began after ten pigs died on a private farm in the village of Mylovyvidka, Kremenchug District. The owners reported this to the State Veterinary Medicine Service on October 10. Laboratory studies have confirmed the presence of the African swine fever virus.

The next day, October 11, quarantine was introduced not only in Mylovydivka, but also in the nearby villages of Horyslavka, Korzhivka, and Olefirivka. In addition, protection and surveillance zones were defined in eight more settlements, in particular the villages of Myrna, Valna, Panivka, Rokyto-Donivka, Maiborodivka, Pashchenivka, Yalyntsi, and Pogrebivska.

What is African swine fever?

African swine fever (ASF) is a highly contagious viral disease that affects both domestic and wild pigs of any age. The disease is accompanied by fever, cyanosis of the skin and hemorrhages of internal organs. African swine fever is not dangerous for humans, but it is a significant threat to livestock.

Infection occurs through direct contact with the pathogen, which can be transmitted through contaminated feed, pasture or vehicles. In addition, the virus can be transmitted by birds, humans, rodents, ticks and other animals that have been in contact with sick pigs or their carcasses. Raw food waste is also a source of infection.

In connection with the outbreak, strict sanitary and quarantine measures aimed at preventing further spread of the disease were introduced in the region.
