TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) — Taiwan reported its first cases of African swine fever on Wednesday and authorities culled at least 195 pigs and ordered a ban on the movement and slaughter of pigs across the island. The Ministry of Agriculture said that samples from dead pigs from a farm in the coastal city of Taichung had tested positive for African swine fever on Tuesday. “We must implement the highest standards to prevent and control this suspected case of African swine fever.”African swine fever, which is nearly always fatal to swine, does not affect humans or other animals outside of the pig family. This is Taiwan’s first-ever reported case of the virus, Chen said. Currently, the only Asian country with a confirmed ongoing African swine fever outbreak is South Korea, according to the World Organization of Animal Health’s October report on the virus situation worldwide.
