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 hundreds of pigs died, including piglets from a national program. In India’s Kohima district, following positive laboratory reports in Kiruphema Bawe, Chiechama, and Nerhema villages, Deputy Commissioner B Henok Buchem established an ‘Infected Zone’ within a 1-km radius and a ‘Surveillance Zone’ within a 10-km radius. In Poland, the situation has intensified with rising outbreaks. In the Pomeranian Voivodeship, the detection of ASF at a farm in Ruszcze marked the first confirmed case in that region for 2026. The Chief Veterinary Inspectorate reported a significant rise in outbreaks among wild boar populations, with 43 new outbreaks affecting 65 animals across eight voivodeships in a two-week period. In the Podkarpackie Voivodeship, authorities confirmed 298 outbreaks involving 580 wild boars by late August 2026. In response, officials have increased wild boar culling, intensified carcass searches, and implemented stricter monitoring near major highways like the A4 and S19. Veterinary officials are urging farmers to adhere to strict biosecurity protocols. In India’s Meghalaya state, pig farmers organized a protest march in Shillong following an outbreak that has reportedly killed thousands of pigs, impacting over 1,200 families.
