The latest news of African classical swine fever vaccine: the head of the Agriculture and Village Department responded that do not listen to rumors!

Recently, many farmers have heard a saying that the Internet has now developed an effective vaccine for African classical swine fever. For a time, the majority of farmers fell into an inexplicable panic. So let's take a look at the latest news of African classical swine fever vaccine.

The latest news of African classical swine fever vaccine

I. African classical swine fever vaccine on the market is fake

Recently, the network spread the so-called "African classical swine fever test vaccine, own vaccine, and even smuggled vaccine" has been put into use in some parts of the domestic farms (households), causing great concern of employees in the pig industry. Recently, the reporter interviewed the head of the Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Bureau of the Ministry of Agriculture and villages on issues related to the African classical swine fever vaccine, who made it clear that so far, no country has approved the sale of African classical swine fever vaccine. At present, it is a critical period for the prevention and control of classical swine fever in Africa, farms (households) must not listen to rumors, resulting in greater losses!

II. There is no commercial African classical swine fever vaccine approved for market in China.

The head of the Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Bureau of the Ministry of Agriculture and villages said that the development of African classical swine fever vaccine has always been a worldwide problem. So far, none of the countries in the world, including China, has approved the sale of African classical swine fever vaccine. Since the outbreak of African classical swine fever in China, the Ministry of Agriculture and villages has always actively supported and encouraged all legal scientific research institutions and enterprises to carry out research on African classical swine fever prevention and control technology.

Judging from the progress of vaccine research and development in China, the progress of various research units is different at present, among which the fastest progress is only in the stages of pilot-scale process exploration, product quality research and safety evaluation of genetically modified organisms. The Ministry of Agriculture and Village has not yet approved it to carry out clinical trial research. Therefore, at present, as long as "African classical swine fever test vaccine, own vaccine, or even smuggled vaccine" appears on the market, according to the regulations on the Administration of Veterinary drugs, all vaccines are illegal and should be treated as fake veterinary drugs, and the broad masses of farmers are asked to keep their eyes open and beware of being deceived.

Third, the use of illegal vaccines may lead to the spread of the disease

The official said that the so-called "African classical swine fever vaccine, own vaccine, or even smuggled vaccine" lacks systematic experimental research, let alone scientific, objective, and strict evaluation, and its safety and effectiveness cannot be guaranteed, especially live vaccines. There may be unpredictable biosafety risks. If farms (households) use such a vaccine to immunize pigs, it may not only fail to achieve the desired immune prevention effect, but also lead to pig infection and spread of the disease due to illegal immunization.

In addition, from the match between the vaccine strain and the epidemic strain in China, the African classical swine fever virus in China belongs to gene type II, and foreign gene type I vaccine virus is blindly introduced to immunize live pigs in our country. it is bound to make the epidemic situation of African classical swine fever virus more complicated in China.

The official warned that the current critical period for the prevention and control of classical swine fever in Africa is that if farms (households) listen to rumors and expect to protect the health of pigs with illegal vaccines, and then relax their own biosafety protection measures, they are bound to fall into a situation of "losing both husbands and soldiers" and seriously interfere with the overall situation of classical swine fever prevention and control in Africa.

IV. Illegal production, sale and use of illegal vaccines will be severely cracked down

According to the regulations on the Administration of Veterinary drugs, the production, sale and use of "African classical swine fever test vaccine, own vaccine and smuggled vaccine" is a serious illegal act and must be severely cracked down on.

At the beginning of this year, the Ministry of Agriculture and villages issued documents to severely crack down on the illegal production and sale of illegal veterinary vaccines such as "own vaccines." Once the violations of laws and regulations are verified, they will be resolutely punished strictly, severely and quickly. Among them, veterinary drug producers and operators who hold veterinary drug production and trading licenses shall be punished according to law, veterinary drug production and trading licenses shall be revoked, and the main persons in charge of production and management enterprises shall not engage in veterinary drug production and marketing activities for life; those who produce illegal vaccines without veterinary drug production licenses shall thoroughly destroy the "black nest sites", be punished according to law, and confiscate production equipment and illegal income. If a veterinary drug user violates the relevant state regulations on the safe use of veterinary drugs and knows clearly that it is a fake vaccine or the vaccine imported should be produced without examination and approval but is still illegally used, he shall be punished according to law. At the same time, it is required to strengthen the connection between administrative law enforcement and criminal justice, and if the animal husbandry and veterinary department finds that relevant illegal acts are suspected of committing crimes, they should be transferred to the public security organs in a timely manner. Pigs immunized with illegal vaccines that are positive shall be regarded as pigs infected with African classical swine fever and should be culled.
