African Swine Fever and Its Prevention and Control Measures

In recent years,the epidemic situation of swine fever caused by African swine fever virus has been repeatedly reported all over the world,and it is characterized by high frequency,wide impact range and long duration. Pork and its products are the animal protein with the largest consumption of residents in China. The continuous outbreak of African swine fever has severely hit the consumer patience,greatly hindered the development of pig breeding and pork products processing industry,and brought serious negative effects. Based on the analysis of African swine fever virus,transmission way,identification method and vaccine research,this paper puts forward feasible control measures in combination with the current situation of pig breeding industry and livestock product consumption in China. In view of the control of African swine fever virus and its epidemic situation,this paper believes that the monitoring and management of the implementation process can be realized by controlling the source of infection,cutting off the transmission channels and taking appropriate measures to protect the biological population,and establishing a long-term operational mechanism. The implementation of multi-dimensional and multi-level control measures can curb the large-scale outbreak of the epidemic and effectively protect the production safety of pork products. However,the complete eradication of the African swine fever virus requires the effective cooperation of all countries,which will be a very long and arduous process.
