Fears of global bacon shortage that could hit Britain

The disease, which cannot currently be passed onto humans, spreads between pigs and wild boars.There is currently no vaccine and no cure, so experts warn that preventing an outbreak is of paramount importance.

Infected pigs initially go off their food, before not wanting to move and then have fever-like symptoms, one experts says.Up to 95 per cent of pigs with the virus die by the end of their second week with the infection.The virus can live on in meat or cold cuts for weeks and when frozen it can survive up to several years, theScott Dee, who is researching the virus, wants to see a quarantine period for feed to prevent any potential spread.
