PREVENTION AND CONTROL OF AFRICAN SWINE FEVER

As a result of laboratory investigations, the Rosselkhoznadzor Maritime Inter-Blast Veteri-nary Laboratory confirmed the presence of DNA from the African Pig Plague (ACS) virus in the wild and in private accessories in the Primorsky Territory. In all of 2019, 50 APC flares were recorded, although the province was previously consid-ered to be a APC success. Veterinary specialists of the Primorsky Krai region in April 2020 man-aged to eliminate all pockets of African plague of pigs. In April 2020, the Russian veterinary spe-cialists of the Primorskaya Krai region managed to eliminate all pockets of African pig plague. However, by mid-2020, Primorje experienced new outbreaks of APC, with 45 cases recorded by early autumn. The disease can occur at any time of the year. The source of the ACS causative agent is sick and sick pigs. Since the virus can spread not only with infected viral animals, including the incubation pe-riod, but also through various infected objects, the products of the infected pigs are particularly dangerous (meat, meat products, lard, blood, bones, hides, etc.). Virus-infected food and combat wastes used to feed pigs without careful venting have in most cases infected pigs with the African plague. Natural and legal persons who are the owners (owners) of pigs are obliged to carry out pre-ventive measures to prevent the emergence and spread of ACS.

ABSTRACT A study of the phlebotomine sand flies was carried out between October 2011 and June 2013 in municipal parks in the city of São Paulo. A total of 173 specimens of 5 species were collected (Psychodopygus lloydi, Pintomyia fischeri, Lutzomyia amarali, Nyssomyia whitmani, and Migonemyia migonei). Three of these species may be involved in the transmission of the causative agent of tegumentary leishmaniasis. Surveillance and monitoring phlebotomine species from these areas are crucial as measure of prevention and control of leishmaniasis.

<p class="00-6Abstrak2Wtz">African swine fever (ASF) is a highly infectious disease in pigs that caused by the double-stranded DNA virus of the Asfarviridae family. The disease is characterized by haemorrhages in the ears, back and legs. This virus causes death in pigs and has a large economic impact. However, ASF is not a zoonotic disease, hence it has no an impact on human health. This paper will discuss about ASF disease, route of transmision, how to diagnose, and handling of ASF. This disease has spread throughout Asia in a relatively short time in 2019, and this exotic disease has been reported entering Indonesia at the end of 2019. There is no effective prevention and control of the disease. Several vaccines have been developed but are still considered ineffective while commercial vaccines are not yet available. Safety and effectiveness of vaccines are still being considered because ASF virus is very unique and different from other DNA viruses,. Therefore, prevention of ASF infection should be done by conducting strict biosecurity, applying regulations on the movement of pigs and pig products to the region or country.</p>

Abstract Background African swine fever (ASF) is a fatal hemorrhagic disease in domestic pigs and wild boar caused by African swine fever virus (ASFV). Since ASF has been introduced into Europe and Asia, the major pig-raising areas, posing a huge threat to the pork industry worldwide. Currently, prevention and control of ASF are basically dependent on strict biosecurity measures and stamping-out policy once ASF occurs. Main text The major risks of ASF spread are insufficient biosecurity measures and human behaviors. Therefore, a safe and effective vaccine seems to be a reasonable demand for the prevention and control of ASF. Due to the efficacy advantage over other types of vaccines, live attenuated vaccines (LAVs), especially virulence-associated genes deleted vaccines, are likely to be put into emergency and conditional use in restricted areas if ASF is out of control in a country with a huge pig population and pork consumption, like China. However, the safety, efficacy, and genetic stability of current candidate ASF LAVs require comprehensive clinical evaluations prior to country-wide field application. Several critical issues need to be addressed to commercialize an ideal ASF LAV, including a stable cell line for manufacturing vaccines, differentiation of infected from vaccinated animals (DIVA), and cross-protection from different genotypes. Conclusion A safe and effective DIVA vaccine and an accompanying diagnostic assay will facilitate the prevention, control, and eradication of ASF, which is quite challenging in the near future.

Soil being considered as a resource at anyone's disposal in quantities at its discretion, so there is currently no interest from economicagents to recover and use it efficiently. At the global level, both law and NGOs increasingly require ongoing land use monitoring for thepurpose of soil conservation, requiring studies, field and laboratory investigations, prevention, prevention and control projects, methods and techniques. The paper will focus on the analysis of chemical parameters and pollutants (pH, humus, SB, T, total content ofN. P, K, Ca, Mg, total Fe, Mn, Cu, Co, Ni, Pb, sulphites, nitrites, pesticides, complex hydrocarbons), the concentration of heavy metals(Cd, Hg, Zn, Pb) of the objectives in the Rovinari basin.

Toxoplasma gondii is a cosmopolitan, intracellular, obligatory parasite protozoan of importance to public and animal health. In sheep, this species is a causative agent of reproductive disorders. The main sign produced by T. gondii infection in this species is abortion, which causes economic losses to sheep ranching. The main purpose of this review is to summarize the abortion outbreaks and reproductive disorders caused by T. gondii infection in sheep, also addressing aspects of biology, diagnosis, prevention and control of the parasite.

African swine fever (ASF) is a devastating disease in domestic and wild pigs. Since the first outbreak of ASF in August 2018 in China, the disease has spread throughout the country with an unprecedented speed, causing heavy losses to the pig and related industries. As a result, strategies for managing the disease are urgently needed. This paper summarizes the important aspects of three key elements about African swine fever virus (ASFV) transmission, including the sources of infection, transmission routes, and susceptible animals. It overviews the relevant prevention and control strategies, focusing on the research progress of ASFV vaccines, anti-ASFV drugs, ASFV-resistant pigs, efficient disinfection, and pig farm biosecurity. We then reviewed the key technical points concerning pig farm repopulation, which is critical to the pork industry. We hope to not only provide a theoretical basis but also practical strategies for effective dealing with the ASF epidemic and restoration of pig production.
