African Swine Fever Virus (ASFV) is a highly contagious virus that affects domestic and wild pigs. It causes severe illness and high mortality rates in infected animals. ASFV is not harmful to humans, but it poses a significant threat to the pig farming industry, leading to economic losses. The virus is transmitted through direct contact with infected pigs or contaminated materials, such as feed and equipment. Control measures include strict biosecurity practices, culling infected animals, and monitoring pig populations. Efforts to develop a vaccine are ongoing, as there is currently no effective treatment for ASFV.
