African Swine Fever outbreaks and containment measures

Overview

African Swine Fever (ASF) outbreaks have prompted various containment and quarantine measures across multiple regions. In Serbia and Croatia, the disease has led to significant agricultural concerns. Serbian authorities implemented forest access controls, including bans on camping and foraging, to prevent spread via wild boar and human activity. The Serbian Chamber of Commerce noted the disease poses a “silent threat” to pork self-sufficiency. In Croatia, over 100 pig farms have tested positive, prompting the culling of thousands of wild boars and intensified veterinary inspections.

In Uganda and India, localized quarantines have been established following confirmed cases. Uganda’s Kalangala district imposed a quarantine covering affected sub-counties and a 20-kilometre radius after more than 300 pigs died. In India, the Noklak district declared New Pangsha village an “Infected Zone.” In Meghalaya, pig farmers held protests in Shillong, alleging that a lack of government-enforced checkpoints and standard operating procedures has allowed the disease to impact over 1,200 families.

In Poland, the situation remains intense. Recent outbreaks include herds in Czartowiec, Ostrowite, and Ruszcze. The Chief Veterinary Inspectorate reported 43 new outbreaks among wild boar over a two-week period in September 2026, with high concentrations in northern Poland and the Podkarpackie Voivodeship. Authorities have increased wild boar culling and are monitoring animal crossings near major highways.

In Vietnam, outbreaks are spreading through several provinces. In Lao Cai, 2,844 pigs have been culled following impacts on 418 households. In Can Tho and Dong Thap, authorities are implementing emergency disinfection and monitoring slaughterhouses as thousands of pigs have been destroyed to curb transmission.
