Where are there more cases of African swine fever? How many cases of ASF have been detected in pigs in a given area? What is the status of an outbreak? At Pig333 we have improved our map of ASF outbreaks, turning it into an interactive map, with the data updated weekly using data from the World Organization for Animal Health (WOAH).

From the map legend, you can choose to display or hide outbreaks in wild boar and pigs, choose between isolated cases or clusters, and between active or resolved outbreaks. This will help you to find outbreaks on the map, as you can hide the outbreaks you are not looking for.

When you click on an outbreak a window appears with more information:

  • Location, province, and country.
  • Species (pigs or wild boar) and status (active or resolved).
  • Start date of the outbreak.
  • End date of the outbreak (if already resolved).
  • Susceptible animals (on a farm).
  • Cases (number of positive animals).

As we zoom out, the map groups the outbreaks in circles so as not to show so many points. The number inside the circle indicates how many outbreaks it contains and the color indicates whether it is a large or small group.

In addition to these circles that group cases, we incorporated a "heat map" to make it easier to visualize from which areas WOAH has received the most notifications.

Visit our section on African swine fever to explore the map and view a compilation of information related to the disease: articles, the latest news, description of the disease, photos of lesions, and other informative resources.

31-Oct-2022 john-carrHi interesting but can you please take this page down until it is accurate.
You must be careful with your zones - THERE IS NO ASF IN THE UK and NO ASF IN AUSTRLIA. Cicles and zone are not good enough for such a serious disease. In addition while you say its limitations the map does not reflect ASF but more politics and transparency by governments which sadly makes the maps almost pointless.
02-Nov-2022 pig333Thank you for your comment. If you zoom in on the interactive map at https://www.pig333.com/asf/ you will see that there are no cases reported in the UK or Australia. The color gradient of the heat map does not indicate that there are cases in all colored areas but rather it shows the areas of concentration where outbreaks are closer together. To see the individual outbreaks, you must zoom in.

And you are right, not every country reports with the same level of detail or transparency.. but as far as I know, it is the best info that it is available..
