May signal ongoing ASF transboundary risks via pork products; leaves open targeted prevention strategies in unaffected regions.
These outbreak reports highlight the tremendous capacity for transboundary spread of African Swine Fever and the residual virulence risks of the modified live LOM vaccine strain for Classical Swine Fever in naive herds.
Kolbasov et al. (2018) conducted a letter in African Swine Fever (n=1,367). African Swine Fever Virus (ASFV) exposure via contaminated pork products was evaluated on Identification and genetic characterization of the ASFV isolate. An African Swine Fever outbreak in Siberia in 2017 was caused by the highly virulent pan-Russian strain of ASFV (genotype II, central variable region I, and IGRI), likely spread via contaminated pork products.
