African swine fever is a highly infectious and severe hemorrhagic disease of pigs that produces a wide range of clinical signs and lesions that can closely resemble those of classical swine fever. African swine fever virus (ASFV) has a case fatality rate of up to 100% in domestic pigs and wild boars. The virus is endemic in many African ...
African swine fever may be suspected based on clinical signs, but confirmation must be made with laboratory tests, particularly to differentiate it from classical swine fever (CSF). Guidance on diagnostic tests for ASF can be found in the Manual of Diagnostic Tests and Vaccines for Terrestrial Animals .
13 wrz 2022 · Clinical signs. ASF is distinct from the better-known classical swine fever (CSF); however, similar clinical signs are often seen. This means that it is impossible to distinguish between ASF and CSF on clinical signs alone, with laboratory testing required to differentiate between the two diseases.
milder clinical signs, characterised by chronic or subclinical forms of ASF. The range of clinical signs associated with each form of ASF is shown in Table . It is important to note that for each form of ASF, the full range of clinical signs may not be observed in infected animals.
2 paź 2020 · The clinical signs are often non-specific and include high fever, anorexia, respiratory and gastrointestinal signs, cyanosis, ataxia, and peracute death. Pregnant sows can abort due to severe disease and high fever.
19 maj 2020 · However, African wild swine like bushpigs (Potamochoerus larvatus), red river hogs (Potamochoerus porcus), and warthogs (Phacochoerus africanus) can be infected by ASFV showing no clinical signs of disease and acting as natural reservoir hosts. In this article we review the key features of the gross and microscopic pathology together with a ...
African Swine fever (ASF) in its classical form is a paracute to acute, highly fatal disease of domestic pigs caused by a virus. It was originally confined to Africa by its natural hosts, namely argasid ticks and wild suids in which infection is inapparent.
