African Swine Fever: Sarawak minister says farms in Sibu to be sealed, pigs to be culled

SIBU, Jan 10 — Farms infected with the African Swine Fever in Sibu will be sealed and all the pigs at these farms will be culled, the farms depopulated and the carcasses disposed by burial on site.

“There is no treatment or vaccines available to treat or control ASF, which is highly virulent and contagious but not harmful to humans and is not a zoonotic disease. Surveillance, both clinical and serological, is being conducted and specimens taken for laboratory diagnoses. At the moment, the importation of pork and pork products into Sarawak from the ASF-infected countries as well as from West Malaysia and Sabah is already banned.
