African Swine Fever (ASF) is a highly contagious viral disease that affects domestic and wild pigs. It is caused by the African Swine Fever virus, which can lead to severe illness and high mortality rates in infected animals. ASF does not pose a risk to human health, but it can have devastating effects on the pig farming industry, leading to significant economic losses. The disease is spread through direct contact between pigs, contaminated feed, or by ticks that carry the virus. Control measures include strict biosecurity practices, culling infected animals, and monitoring pig populations. Efforts to develop a vaccine are ongoing to help manage outbreaks of ASF.
