African Swine Fever Present In Over 50 Countries: Here's Where

When it comes to African swine fever (ASF), today it seems it's almost easier to say where the virus isn't present. According to the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE), more than 50 countries have reported the deadly virus either in wild or domestic pigs during the past five years. Of course, not all of these countries are significant pork producers, but the diversity of ASF's geographic spread shows how easily the virus can spread.
