Swine Fever
African Swine Fever (ASF) is
an emergency animal disease.
ASF affects both domestic and feral pigs and is spread
via infected pig meat, pig-to-pig contact, soft tick-to-pig
contact and via fomites (materials and equipment).
There are no health risks for humans from ASF. People
can safely continue to eat pork, regardless of
detection of ASF.
