Synopsis (short abstract) The actual African evolution is characterized by a strong integration at regional level, resulting in intensive trade, accentuated the movements of people and free movement of goods and people. In this context, only a regional approach can be considered for reducing the risk of economic losses due to the ASF. This approach creates synergy between countries and benefits from the experience of each other. Despite the loss due to the disease and many actions taken to control the disease, the situat ion remains dramatic in terms of threat of livelihood of populations. The elaborated strategy joined with an action plan, allow a progressive and coordinated control of the disease at regional level. To achieve this objective, it prioritizes the strengthening of capacities of technical services and the improvement of current production systems, creating optimal conditions for the modernization and development of the pig industry in a healthy context.

    African swine fever (ASF) is a contagious viral disease that causes a haemorrhagic fever in domestic pigs and wild boar. It is characterised by high fever, internal haemorrhage and multiple organ failure with a lethality that approaches 100 percent. ASF is currently widespread in sub-Saharan Africa, Eastern Europe, the Caucasus, Russian Federation and the Italian island of Sardinia. Its arrival in the Caucasus in 2007 and its progressive advance through the Russian Federation into Eastern Europe, where it now seems established, demonstrated the high potential for transboundary spread of ASF. In August 2018, China reported the occurrence of ASF for the very first time.
