African Swine Fever (ASF) continues to claim victims on pig farms in northern Italy. Only in the northern regions this year, so far 23 pig farms have been infected in 2024, leading to the culling of tens of thousands of pigs.

So far this year, total outbreaks in this population are significantly lower than at the same point in 2023, while cases in wild boar have passed 4,600.

The Philippines is under global scrutiny as it proceeds with the controlled rollout of an unproven African swine fever (ASF) vaccine from Vietnam amid doubts from experts about its safety and efficacy.

Yet another state in western Germany is reporting the likely presence of African Swine Fever (ASF) in its wild boar population. The virus appears to have emerged in a population in Baden-Württemberg.
