Helpless in the face of the worst animal pandemic in history: African swine fever breaks out in Spain with no vaccine in sight.

There is no medicine for this disease, nor will one be available in the near future, meaning authorities and farmers will have to resort to medieval measures in the face of a plague: isolating the sick and disposing of their carcasses.

African swine fever: significant increase in EU pigs in 2023

In 2023, 14 Member States were affected by African swine fever (ASF) and it caused a five-fold increase in outbreaks in domestic pigs compared to the previous year. These are the main findings of the latest annual epidemiological report published by EFSA today.

European Food Safety Authority

With a fatality rate of almost 100%, #ASF has swept across #Asia, #Europe and #Africa, devastating domestic and wild pig populations over the past 10 to 20 years. In #Borneo, the loss of #BeardedPigs is already having an enormous impact on cultures and communities that depend on them for food. Before, bearded pigs once accounted for 81% of hunted wildlife by weight in some villages. Now, that number is closer to zero. #SwineFever
