Diseases of High Consequence

A confirmed case of African swine fever (ASF), foot-and-mouth disease (FMD), and/or classical swine fever (CSF) in the United States will immediately close export markets and disrupt pig movements resulting in severe economic losses and business disruption.

African Swine Fever (ASF) 

African swine fever is a viral disease of swine. All members of the pig family Suidae are susceptible. The disease is characterized by high mortality and morbidity, often reaching 100 percent for severe forms of the disease. The disease is not a threat to human health or food safety.

Classical Swine Fever (CSF) 

Classical swine fever is a highly contagious and economically significant viral disease of pigs. The range of clinical signs and similarity to other diseases makes it hard to diagnose. Disease in pigs can range from mild to severe, depending on the strain of virus introduced.
