: The Negeri Sembilan Veterinary Services Department has advised the public, especially wild boar hunters and swine breeders, to quickly report the death of any wild boar or commercially reared pig to the authorities.

He said early notification would enable the department to take immediate action to prevent the spread of the disease in the state as the ASF virus can survive for long periods in tissues of infected animals.“ASF infection involving the dead wild boar may still occur because it is difficult to control, but efforts to control the spread to commercially-reared pigs are being actively carried out by JPVNS,” he told Bernama here today.

“There were three ASF cases reported last year namely two involving wild boars in Kuala Pilah and Tampin, and one at an unlicensed farm in Port Dickson,” he said.
