Are the symptoms of African classical swine fever dead once they are infected?

Recently, the report on African classical swine fever really makes people talk about pig color change, and pork prices in many places have also been affected to a certain extent.

African classical swine fever is a pig disease caused by an acute, febrile and highly contagious viral virus, characterized by a short course of onset, but a mortality rate as high as 100%. Its clinical manifestations are fever, skin cyanosis, lymph nodes, kidney, gastrointestinal mucous membrane obvious bleeding.

Why does African classical swine fever make people feel like an archenemy?

After the outbreak of classical swine fever in Shenyang, the relevant departments can be said to have acted very quickly-it took only one day to complete the whole process from diagnosis to culling to harmless treatment. At present, it can be said that the epidemic has been basically effectively controlled.

African classical swine fever is so frightening mainly because African classical swine fever has the following three characteristics:

1. Classical swine fever virus spreads quickly, either directly from pig to pig or indirectly from tick to pig.

2. the sick pigs are incurable, and the mortality rate is close to 100%.

3. Up to now, no effective classical swine fever vaccine has been developed.

Although African classical swine fever does not cause direct physical harm to people, the outbreak of the disease can have a direct impact on the pig industry, especially in countries like ours, where pork is the main source of protein, in the event of a large-scale epidemic, will cause incalculable economic losses.

Therefore, even if only one diagnosed sick pig is found, all live pigs in the area should be culled.

We should not look at the words "culling them all" to think that the epidemic has spread widely, or that it has caused irreparable chaos, thus causing unnecessary panic.
