| Epidemiological comments |
On 3rd September, fattening pigs were found dead and reported to Gifu Central Livestock Hygiene Service Centre (LHSC) by a veterinarian.
On 8th September, the samples derived from pigs of reported farm tested positive for Pestivirus by RT-PCR. But the result of pestivirus specific FAT was negative.
On the same day, the National Institute of Animal Health (NIAH) carried out CSFV specific RT-PCR and FAT to samples transported from Gifu City, and the result were positive and negative respectively.
On 9th September, sequencing analysis of the virus RNA was completed and the NIAH confirmed that this is the case of classical swine fever.
Note: Possibility of a case of African swine fever was denied by NIAH.
Movement and shipment restrictions are imposed on the hog farms within a radius of 3 km and 3-10 km of the affected farm respectively.
Stamping-out is being carried out on the affected farm.
