Do pigs with African classical swine fever have antibodies?

African classical swine fever has a great impact on the growth of pigs, for farmers, it will cause huge losses. There are some farms where African classical swine fever has occurred, and there are still residual pigs, so do pigs with African classical swine fever have antibodies?

Although pigs infected with African swine fever have antibodies, their immunity is maintained for a short time, and recovered pigs are likely to be a virus carrier. Because the virus is very resistant and can survive in very harsh environments, it can also reproduce in mosquitoes and ticks in addition to pigs. If there is a new chance of infection, the virus will be transmitted to other pigs, resulting in a new epidemic, and it will bring great security risks to itself and the surrounding farms, so even if this happens, it is not recommended that people continue to breed.

African classical swine fever is a malignant infectious disease with high fever, acute and high mortality. according to different virus strains, the incidence rate is usually between 40% and 85%, and the mortality varies depending on the strain infected. The mortality rate of highly pathogenic strains can be as high as 90%. The mortality rate of moderately pathogenic strains is between 20% and 40% in adult animals and 70% and 80% in young animals. The mortality rate of low pathogenic strains is between 3% and 30%. At present, according to the data of virus strains isolated in China, it is highly pathogenic, which is the same as the outbreak in Russia.

After the unexplained death of pigs occurred in the farm, it is mainly reported by farmers on their own initiative, and after the relevant departments receive the report, they will rush to the incident farm for sampling, inspection and quarantine at the first time, and report it to the relevant departments at the provincial level or national departments for the release of the epidemic after the actual epidemic.

If there is an unknown cause of death in the pig, it must be reported to the relevant departments in time, because this is the only way to reduce the loss. If it is not reported in time, all the pigs in the farm will be wiped out. As an ordinary farmer, this loss really cannot be borne. Moreover, there is also very strict disinfection work in the later stage, and the use of various agents requires a large part of the funds, and some hidden places are easy to be ignored by us. If the disinfection is not thoroughly filled, it is likely to lead to the occurrence of the epidemic again, and eventually lead to harm to others and harm to themselves.

Pigs with African classical swine fever should not think that they have antibodies and continue to breed, otherwise the losses will outweigh the gain.
