Philippines confirms presence of African swine fever

After several weeks reporting the detection of abnormal mortality on some pig farms, the Philippine Department of Agriculture has just reported positive results for African swine fever (ASF).

On 16 August, the Bureau of Animal Industry (BAI) informed the Department of Agriculture (DA) of an increase in mortality in pigs reared on backyard farms in Rizal province, near Manila. The DA immediately ordered to investigate the affected farms and the collection of blood samples.

The samples were sent to Pirbright's reference laboratory in the UK, and the PCR result has been positive for ASF, as reported by the DA in a statement released today.
