睽違26年，在日本爆發的豬瘟疫情已經3個月，也撲殺上千頭養殖豬，卻還是擋不住豬瘟病毒蔓延，愛知縣的犬山，這頭在野外暴斃的山豬體內，驗出豬瘟病毒，這是日本今年的第六例，同時也是第一次出現在岐阜縣以外的地區。
農林水產省副大臣小里泰弘：「不得不說，(防疫工作)太過大意了，讓人覺得非常遺憾。」
日本的農林水產副大臣，相當於我們的農委會副主委，在會議上直接批評地方政府，防疫工作沒做好！原來在岐阜縣的研究單位設施裡，竟然發現帶有豬瘟病毒的鳥糞，防疫工作出現漏洞，豬瘟顯然在日本擴散中。
岐阜縣知事古田肇：「在縣府管理的研究機關，發生豬瘟感染，真的非常抱歉。」
其實日本的豬瘟，和中國大陸流行的非洲豬瘟都有病豬發熱、食慾不振、移動力變差、致死性高等等症狀，只是日本的豬瘟，可以施打疫苗防範，為了保全種豬，愛知縣更宣布將暫停旗下品牌豬的配種作業。
愛知縣知事大村秀章：「從品種的保存和延續的角度來看，受精卵的冰凍保存，非常有意義。」
豬瘟病毒擴散，政府機關全面防疫，只因為日本人瞭解，這場豬瘟可能毀了他們的豬肉經濟。

Japan culls 546 hogs after detecting first swine fever outbreak in 26 years
2 Min Read
TOKYO (Reuters) - Following Japan’s first outbreak of swine fever in 26 years, a local government said on Tuesday it had culled 546 hogs in the center of Honshu, the country’s largest and most populous island.
An official with the Gifu prefecture government said that more than 65 hogs had died since Sept. 3, and the cull was carried out in an attempt to contain the outbreak. Checks had been undertaken at other farms in the prefecture and no other cases had been found, he said.
The outbreak of the fever - a different strain from the deadly African swine fever that has broken out in China - was detected at farm in central Gifu city, the agriculture ministry said on Sunday.
The disease found in Gifu is classical swine fever (CSF), also known as hog cholera, an official at the agriculture ministry said. It occurs among pigs and wild boar, and is not infectious for humans.
The origin and cause of the infection in Gifu were under investigation, he said.
Japan suspended exports of pork and wild boar meat after the outbreak was identified. Japan is the world’s 10th largest pork producer, and exports about 12 billion yen ($108 million) worth of pork products annually.
“We don’t know when we resume exports of pork, but we are discussing with the countries we export pork products to about conditions to restart,” the ministry official said.
African swine fever was detected in China in early August and China reported 14th outbreak of the disease on Monday.
The U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) said Friday that around 40,000 hogs had been culled so far in China, home to the world’s largest pig herd, and warned of the likelihood that the disease would spread to other Asian countries.

Japan’s first case of swine fever in 26 years triggers pig cull, nationwide export ban
Kyodo
GIFU - An outbreak of swine fever confirmed at a farm in Gifu over the weekend has led to the culling and burying of 546 hogs and the halt of pork exports across Japan, authorities said Monday.
The shipment ban is expected to be in place for at least three months until Japan is declared clear of the disease, which only affects pigs and wild boars and has an almost 100 percent fatality rate. Japan’s pork exports totaled ¥1 billion ($9 million) in 2017.
Around 140 pigs at the farm have died from the disease, also known as hog cholera, over the past week. The symptoms include motor difficulty and loss of appetite.
The disease does not affect humans even if meat from an infected animal is consumed.
All of the dead pigs had been buried at the farm by Monday morning, and the disinfection of the facility is expected to be completed by Tuesday.
Though hog cholera is endemic in Asia, it is the first time since 1992 an infection has been found in Japan. Tokyo declared the virus eradicated in 2007.
It is not yet clear how the outbreak started, and the central and prefectural governments will look into the cause. The Gifu Prefectural Government pointed to the possibility that inflected boars or pigs were brought in from outside.
The farm had been shipping pork until last Wednesday, two days after a pig suddenly died there. While the animal did not test positive during a preliminary screening by the local government, further tests by the central government found Sunday that the pig was infected with the virus.
At a task force meeting Sunday, farm minister Ken Saito pledged to contain the virus.
“First responses are crucial,” he said.
Pork exports can resume once countries that import Japanese pork products approve.

Breaking News: Hog Cholera Reported in Japan
JoAnn Alumbaugh
September 10, 2018 08:50 AM
Classical Swine fever, more commonly known as hog cholera, has been identified on a farm in Japan. It has been 26 years since that country has had an outbreak of the devastating virus.
“On Sunday September 9th, Japan reported the occurrence of Classical Swine fever, in a farm located at Gifu Prefecture, in the central area of the country,” says a report from the Swine Health Information Center (SHIC) on Monday morning. “Last week, one pig died suddenly, followed by the mortality of 80 others. On Sunday, officials declared the animals as tested positive for Classical Swine fever (CSF), also known as Hog Cholera.”
This occurrence is unrelated to the African Swine Fever (ASF) epidemic in China and other countries in Eastern Europe. SHIC reports that Japanese Veterinary Services have ruled out the occurrence of African Swine Fever (ASF) in this outbreak or in the country.
What is Classical Swine Fever?
Like ASF, CSF does not impact people, however it can be devastating to the pork industry because pork sales would be severely disrupted. The Merck Veterinary Manual’s description of Classical Swine fever follows:
Classical swine fever is a contagious, often fatal, disease of pigs clinically characterized by high body temperature, lethargy, yellowish diarrhea, vomiting, and a purple skin discoloration of the ears, lower abdomen, and legs. It was first described in the early 19th century in the USA. Later, a condition in Europe termed “swine fever” was recognized to be the same disease. Both names continue to be used, although in most of the world the disease is now called classical swine fever (CSF) to distinguish it from African swine fever (see African Swine Fever), which is a clinically indistinguishable disease but caused by an unrelated DNA virus.
CSFV is moderately fragile and does not persist in the environment or spread long distances by the airborne route. However, it can survive for prolonged periods in a moist, protein-rich environment such as pork tissues or body fluids, particularly if kept cold or frozen. Virus survival times up to several years have been observed in frozen pork meat. CSFV may also survive months in chilled or cured cuts.
Immediate Action in Japan
SHIC reports that a task force was implemented, and the remaining 610 pigs on the farm were culled to contain the outbreak.
By Monday morning (local time), depopulation of the farm was completed, the news report from SHIC said. It added that no clear origin of infection was identified. The farm obtained commercial feed, and it was reported that there were no known foreign laborers or visitors from countries endemic with CSF working in the farm. Cause of the virus introduction is “unknown and under investigation.”
“Exports of pork have been suspended until the Veterinary Services are capable of understanding the extent of the outbreak and if the measures were sufficient to contain it, while investigations about possible routes of introduction are implemented as well,” SHIC said. “The Gifu Prefecture is not the major area of swine production, and it is located 500 miles (800 kilometers) from the south region, the highest pig-dense area.”
Figure 1: Map of Japan, and Prefectures. In red, location of the Gifu Prefecture, in Central Japan. The highest pig-dense area of Japan is located in the south region of the country (adapted from Sasaki et al.,2017) approximately 500 miles (800 km) from Gifu Prefecture by road.
“CSF is a notifiable disease and affects the international trade of pork, however, clinically it is usually considered less severe than ASF,” SHIC said. “Currently, it is considered endemic in many countries, including China, therefore it is a disease with potential direct and indirect effects to the U.S. industry. Depending on the strain, extensions of outbreak, route of introduction and effectiveness of biosecurity measures to contain and prevent re-introductions, it could offer different levels of risk.”
Unlike ASF, commercial vaccines are available for the control of CSF.
U.S. Industry Taking Measures
Last week, the National Pork Producers Council (NPPC) hosted a meeting with the American Association of Swine Veterinarians, National Pork Board, the Swine Health Information Center and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, including U.S. Chief Veterinary Officer Jack Shere, to discuss the threat of and protect America’s pork producers from foreign animal diseases (FADs), NPPC said in its weekly Capital Update. It also is encouraging U.S. producers to take extra precautions to protect their herds with increased biosecurity measures.
“To support the effort to prevent FADs, NPPC is asking for mandatory funding as part of the 2018 Farm Bill of $150 million for a vaccine bank to deal with an outbreak of Foot-and-Mouth Disease, $30 million for the National Animal Health Laboratory Network, which does animal disease diagnostics, and $70 million in block grants for state animal-health agencies for efforts to prevent diseases,” NPPC said.
CSF Background in Japan
According to SHIC, the last CSF outbreak in Japan was in 1992 in Kumamoto Prefecture. In 2007, the use of vaccination was banned, and disease eradication was declared in the country.
"The Japanese swine industry is still recovering from the 2013-2016 PED epidemic,” SHIC said. “On July 9th-2018, APHIS published the official notice of the OIE recognition of Japan as free CSF. Currently, Japan exports pork, and it is in the top-10 pork producing countries in the world. FAS/Tokyo estimates Japanese swine slaughter held stable at 16.336 million head in 2017.”
At this point, no other cases of CSF are suspected in Japan, but the status won’t be known until additional testing is completed.

Japan’s “Significance” Score
The “SDGS - Significance score” is a scoring system to assess the likelihood a disease event will impact the global swine industry, SHIC reported. Scores range from 1-3 (low-high) based on the novelty of the disease, effect on the swine industry, and impact on trade. Presently, Japan has a score of 2.
