Regarding “African swine cholera”, which is an infectious disease that is completely different from swine cholera, which is spreading in Japan, and for which there is no effective vaccine, the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries of Japan Called for thorough hygiene to prevent intrusions.
The infectious disease of pigs, “African pig cholera” is a pig disease that is completely different from pig cholera that occurs in eight prefectures such as Gifu Prefecture, and it does not infect humans, but has extremely strong infectivity.
On March 30, the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries gathered prefectural livestock representatives and held a meeting. Mr. Eto, Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries said, “We decided on a vaccination policy for swine cholera, but we can't relax the tension. There is no vaccine for swine cholera and it is spreading in Korea. I would like you to continue to appeal for thorough hygiene management in preparation for becoming a hated person. "
African swine fever has been spread in 11 countries and regions including Vietnam and Korea since it was confirmed in China last August.
Infection in Japan has not yet been confirmed, but unlike "pig cholera", there is no effective vaccine, so there is a need to thoroughly implement measures to prevent entry into the country.
