- Technical support by veterinarians
About African Swine FeverAfrican Swine Fever (ASF) is a highly infectious viral disease affecting swine of all ages, characterized by high morbidity and mortality. The causative agent is a double-stranded DNA virus (Asfarviridae, genus Asfivirus), transmissible by vectors such as soft ticks (Ornithodoros genus), and is classified as an Arbovirus.
