Why is African swine fever always found one after another in the country?

From 2018 to 2020, African swine fever has never been eradicated in China, and there have always been occurrences one after another. African swine fever has entered our country for more than 1 year, the failure to control the main reasons are these 3:

1, the virus hosts survive for a long time

African swine fever virus mainly exists in two kinds of organisms, one is the pig, including the domestic pig, wild boar, and the second is the blunt-edge soft tick.

According to research findings, blunt-edge soft ticks can survive for up to five years even under starvation, and their strong ability to survive provides a great convenience for the spread of African swine fever virus.

2, the continuous release of frozen meat

China's frozen meat there are two kinds, one is the government at all levels of the reserve frozen pork, and the second is the slaughtering enterprises, cold chain enterprises of frozen pork, although these will be African swine fever virus testing, but inevitably there are leakage of fish.

3, pig speculation and illegal transportation of pigs

After the occurrence of African swine fever in accordance with the provisions of the pig farms need to cull all the pigs, but due to the need for laboratory diagnosis, small and medium-sized farms are difficult to do, it is easy to misdiagnosis of the situation, in addition to speculation in pigs and the emergence of illegal transportation of pigs, no inspection and quarantine certificates of the sale of pigs compared to the normal price of the pig to be much lower, so some unscrupulous persons in order to achieve the goal of the African swine fever virus test, and the price is very low, but it is very low. A lot, so some unscrupulous people in order to make personal profit, illegal transportation of pigs, making possible the presence of African swine fever virus, resulting in infection.

How can African swine fever be effectively prevented and controlled?

1, tick prevention and control.

Can be killed by oral or intramuscular injection of anthelmintic drugs, in addition to disinfection with insecticides.

2, the spread of African swine fever mainly by contact.

Farmers should prohibit all objects that may contain African swine fever virus from entering pig farms, such as pig pullers, feed trucks and so on.

3. Outsiders are prohibited in pig farms.

Anyone who enters the farm may be a carrier of the virus, so all outsiders should be prohibited from entering the farm, and at the same time do a good job of strict disinfection.

4, pig farmers do not eat foreign meat products.

Whether it is pork, chicken, or other meat, can spread African swine fever virus through the plasma proteins in the feed, so their own pig farms raised pork, it is best not to eat.

The above is the introduction of African swine fever, in addition, now in the fall and winter season, is the high incidence of African swine fever season, so pig farmers must do a good job of preventive and control measures, can not be taken lightly, resulting in huge losses.
