African Swine Fever: Diagnosis and Management

African swine fever requires rapid recognition and a coordinated response because clinical presentation can vary and outbreaks can have major consequences for pig populations and production systems. This webinar focuses on practical approaches to recognizing suspected cases, selecting appropriate diagnostic methods, and managing disease at the farm and outbreak level. It covers clinical assessment, differential considerations, sample collection, laboratory confirmation, biosecurity, movement control, carcass management, and communication during an outbreak. The discussion also highlights the importance of surveillance and early reporting in limiting disease spread. By integrating diagnosis, farm-level management, and outbreak-control measures, the session provides veterinarians with practical considerations for responding to African swine fever in different production settings.
