Philippines advocating a more aggressive approach to hog cholera in the region
July 5, 2005 Philippines advocating a more aggressive approach to hog cholera in the region Philippine Department of Agriculture (DA) Undersecretary for Livestock and Fisheries Cesar Drilon on Wednesday urged top officials of the World Animal Health Organization, Paris-based Office International des Epizooties (OIE), Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations, Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) and the animal health officials of Asia, for collaborative efforts against classical swine fever or hog cholera, which is considered a major cause of deaths among pigs. The Philippines recently hosted the joint FAO-OIE-JICA regional workshop on classical swine fever (CSF) which was participated in by top officials of these lead international bodies as well as animal health chiefs from Singapore, Brunei, Korea, Malaysia, Cambodia, Myanmar, Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, Sri Lanka, India and Pakistan. Hog cholera has been classified by th

EU proposes legislation for bird flu control measures
June 17, 2005 EU proposes legislation for bird flu control measures The European Union is proposing bird flu controls for legislation in the poultry and pig industries. Following an outbreak of bird flu, a competent authority in the pig industry must carry out laboratory tests for the presence of the disease within the holding area. No pigs shall be moved pending test results. Should any pigs test positive for bird flu, transfer of those pigs to other pig holdings or designated slaughterhouses may be authorised, provided subsequent appropriate tests have shown that the risk of spreading bird flu is negligible. If the tests confirm a serious health threat, the pigs must be culled as soon as possible under official supervision and in a manner to prevent the spread of bird flu. This applies especially during transport and in accordance with Directive 93/119/EEC. These measures may apply to any other animal present on the holding and may be extended to contact holdings, following an outbreak or confirma

Immunity related diseases in pigs - new challenges in Asia
June 16, 2005 Immunity related diseases in pigs - new challenges in Asia New challenges caused by diseases affecting the immune system of pigs have been addressed at meetings in China, Taiwan and the Philippines, in early June 2005. The meetings focused on two major causes of reduced immunity in pigs: Postweaning Multisystemic Wasting Syndrome (PMWS) and mycotoxins. In total, more than 700 people came to attend these meetings and the long time spent on each occasion during the"questions and answers"session clearly showed their keen interest in these subjects. Dr François Madec, vice-director of one of the veterinary research laboratories of the French Agency for Food Safety and Head of the epidemiology research unit, is one of a handful of experts on PMWS in the world. In his presentation, Dr Madec described the symptoms of PMWS that appear to be due to a virus (PCV2, porcine circovirus type 2) involved in the pathogenic process through an impact on the immune system. On the other hand, directly or indir

South Korea hit by fresh hog cholera outbreak
June 16, 2005 South Korea hit by fresh hog cholera outbreak Korean government officials reported that over 1,000 pigs were culled in Chungju city, 147 kilometres south of Seoul, after a hog cholera outbreak. The outbreak in South Chungcheong Province was first suspected in late May when a farm in Chungju reported pig deaths. According to the government, tests were conducted on all 3,060 pigs at the farm, of which several hundred tested positive. More than 7,000 pigs at nearby farms tested negative for the disease and the outbreak was the first in over 12 years. The government added that hog cholera only attacks hogs and does not affect humans or any other animals. A more thorough inspection would also be done over the weekend.

Bird flu virus discovered in pigs in Java, Indonesia
June 3, 2005 Bird flu virus discovered in pigs in Java, Indonesia An Indonesian virologist and independent researcher discovered the H5N1 virus that causes bird flu in five out of ten pigs tested at Banten, western Java. The pigs were tested not because they showed signs of illness but due to the fact that they were kept near a chicken farm that was affected by bird flu last year. So far, reports state that 150 pigs from outside the Banten area tested negative for the virus. Concern is mounting over the presence of the H5N1 bird flu virus in Indonesia's pigs because government tests confirm that it could be infecting up to half of the pig population in some areas, without showing any signs of the disease. Some Asian health officials fear the presence of bird flu in pigs even more than in poultry. Pigs can harbour both bird and human flu viruses, and can be ideal developing grounds for the emergence of a strain of bird flu that can easily infect humans. According to the Indonesian government, while su

A look at some causes and control of pig diseases in the UK
May 31, 2005 A look at some causes and control of pig diseases in the UK According to a study by the University of Warwick, the Post-weaning Multi-systematic Wasting Syndrome (PMWS) pig disease, spread from south-east England to Scotland within three years, from 2001 to 2003. The study found that PMWS might have occurred through pig movements, visitors to farms and spread from newly acquired pigs. Thus, careful purchasing and the quarantine of new pigs might delay or prevent infections originating from external sources. Also, it is essential that pig farm visitors have not been in contact with pigs from other sources for a certain minimum period. Other sources beside pig farms include birds, rodents and other wildlife. Controlling them could also help in disease prevention. Such control practices apply to all pig diseases.

Indonesia begins testing pigs for bird flu virus
May 17, 2005 Indonesia begins testing pigs for bird flu virus Indonesia has discovered the bird flu virus in swine and has started testing pigs in several regions. Health experts say that because pigs can carry human and avian viruses, the genes could then become intertwined in their bodies to form new virulent strains that can be passed on to humans. Tri Satya Putri Naipospos, director of animal health at the Indonesia agriculture ministry said authorities are taking the necessary bio-security and surveillance measures the keep the situation under control, and no decision has been made on whether to conduct a mass cull of pigs.

Thailand says its pigs have no avian flu
May 16, 2005 Thailand says its pigs have no avian flu Thailand's Ministry of Agriculture said that no cases of avian flu had been found among Thai pigs, adding that strict measures were put in place to ensure the virus did not spread from poultry to other animals. The H5N1 virus had been discovered among pigs in Indonesia. Dr. Charan Trunwuttiphong, vice minister for agriculture and agricultural cooperatives, stressed that Thailand had been monitoring carefully any signs of the disease in pigs, but had not found any instances of the virus. Under Ministry of Agriculture rules drawn up during the height of the bird flu crisis, farmers are told not to raise chickens and pigs together, and to inform district livestock officers immediately should they discover any animal dying of unknown causes. The Indonesian discovery is particularly worrying given the genetic similarities between pigs and humans. The fact that pigs are often responsible for the spread of the human influenza virus does not help. Scientis

2nd outbreak of Blue ear disease in South Africa
April 4, 2005 2nd outbreak of Blue ear disease in South Africa Pig farmers in South Africa's Western Cape region may face financial ruin following the second outbreak of Blue ear disease among their animals. Hundreds of pigs have been destroyed after one large commercial piggery and several smaller farms have tested positive for the disease that spreads through the air. The highly infectious disease attacked the respiratory and reproductive systems, causing pregnant pigs to abort foetuses and coughing in younger pigs. There is no danger to people even if they have eaten infected pork. The virus was first detected in South Africa a year ago but has been prevalent in the US and Europe for about 10 years. Western Cape director of veterinary services Dr Gideon Bruckner said a scientific risk assessment was needed to determine future control of the disease, so there would not be an intensive eradication campaign. However, farmers in affected areas would be asked to slaughter their pigs as soon as they reach
