Since 2005, the terrestrial animal diseases most frequently reported to the World Organization for Animal Health (WOAH, formally OIE) were avian influenza with 31% of all the terrestrial immediate notifications submitted, infection with African swine fever (ASF) virus with 12%, and infection with foot and mouth disease (FMD) virus with 10% of immediate notifications.
During 2021 and early 2022 there were 50 immediate notifications for ASF and 114 ASF events reported to the OIE by 22 countries and territories in Africa, the Americas, Asia, the Far East and Oceania, and Europe. The disease spread to four previously unaffected countries during this period: Malaysia reported the first occurrence of ASF in February 2021, Bhutan in May 2021, Thailand in November 2021, and North Macedonia (Rep. of) in December 2021. Other events were mainly for recurrences of ASF within countries already affected.
