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. ~~These measures include prohibiting the movement of live pigs and pork products, closing local markets, and mandating safe burial protocols for carcasses.~~ In Poland, the situation has intensified with rising outbreaks.
