    Japan suspends export of pork after outbreak of pig cholera
    PTI 09 Sep 2018, 04:19 AM Japan

    Japan is suffering its first outbreak of pig cholera in more than 25 years, authorities said Sunday after culling more than 600 animals and suspending pork exports.

    A farm in central Japan saw 80 pigs die last week after catching the highly-contagious disease, an agricultural ministry official told AFP.

    Early tests showed negative results for classical swine fever, as the illness is officially known.

    government announcement:

    Ministry of Agriculture , Forestry and Fisheries September 9, Heisei 30

    Today, at the pig farm in Gifu city, Gifu Prefecture, a slaughtered animal suffering from a livestock infectious disease, swine fever was confirmed (African swine fever cholera is secondarily filed in China, but as a result of carrying out a precision examination, African swine fever We have confirmed that it is not infectious.) In response to this, the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries will hold the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Headquarters for Antimalopathy against Hog Cholera from 8:00 today.
    The farm refrains from moving pigs from the point of suspected hog cholera.

    Cooperation is requested so that coverage at the scene is strictly refrained from the fact that it may cause spread of the disease and infringe the privacy of farmers.

      Epidemiological comments On 3rd September, fattening pigs were found dead and reported to Gifu Central Livestock Hygiene Service Centre (LHSC) by a veterinarian. On 8th September, the samples derived from pigs of reported farm tested positive for Pestivirus by RT-PCR. But the result of pestivirus specific FAT was negative. On the same day, the National Institute of Animal Health (NIAH) carried out CSFV specific RT-PCR and FAT to samples transported from Gifu City, and the result were positive and negative respectively. On 9th September, sequencing analysis of the virus RNA was completed and the NIAH confirmed that this is the case of classical swine fever. Note: Possibility of a case of African swine fever was denied by NIAH. Movement and shipment restrictions are imposed on the hog farms within a radius of 3 km and 3-10 km of the affected farm respectively. Stamping-out is being carried out on the affected farm.

Monitoring and survey of farms, etc. (1)Farms to be intensively monitored (13 farms) Thirteen farms are designated for intensive monitoring, which have epidemiological relationship (*) with the affected farm. Clinical test, ELISA and PCR were carried out on 13 farms, and all results were negative to classical swine fever. (*) Epidemiological relationship with the affected farm: -Shipping out to the same slaughterhouse -Using the same compost facility -Visited by the same veterinarian 3. Surveillance of wildlife (the wild boar reported in this follow up report) Gifu prefecture started the survey from 13th September 2018. On 13th September, a dead wild boar was found in the zone within 3 to 10 km radius from the affected farm (shipment restriction zone). On 14th September the dead wild boar was confirmed positive to CSF by sequencing at National Institute of Animal Health (NIAH). 4. Epidemiological investigation (1)Since 9th September 2018, the National Epidemiological Investigation Team has been dispatched. (2)In order to facilitate the identification of cause and route of infection as well as to prevent the spread of the disease by increasing the experts of team members, Intensified Epidemiological Investigation Team for the CSF case has been established on 12th September 2018. An expert for wildlife joined on 14th September. (3) NIAH published the result of gene analysis of the CSFV of the case. NIAH considered that the virus was likely to be introduced from overseas as the virus belongs to subgenotype 2.1 5. Communication to producers (1)On 9 September 2018, Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries re-ordered all prefectures that any farm should comply with Biosecurity Standard and Guidelines for CSF such as adequate disinfection against invasion of CSF virus, early notification, and prevention of wild animals, etc.

                  Epidemiological comments On 15th November, a fattening pig was found to be sick with fever and reported to the Gifu Central Livestock Hygiene Service Centre (LHSC) by a veterinarian. Official veterinarians of the LHSC immediately visited the farm to conduct clinical inspection. Blood samples were collected from the sick pig and the other pigs in the same farm. Blood samples were tested for classical swine fever virus by specific RT-PCR at the Gifu Central LHSC and found to be positive on 16th November. On 16th November, the National Institute of Animal Health (NIAH) carried out sequencing analysis of the amplified products and NIAH confirmed that this was a case of classical swine fever. Stamping out policy was applied and all pigs in the farm were culled on 16th November. All carcasses were buried, and disinfection of the farm and contaminated materials were completed on the same day. Movement and shipment restrictions are imposed on the farms within a radius of 3km and 3-10km of the affected farm respectively.

                    Epidemiological comments 1. On the 3rd of December, four breeding pigs were found to have a poor appetite and respiratory symptoms; symptoms were reported to the Gifu Central Livestock Hygiene Service Centre (LHSC). Official veterinarians of the Gifu Central LHSC immediately visited the farm to conduct a clinical inspection and blood collection. The four sick pigs were culled and official veterinarians conducted necropsy examination at the Gifu Central LHSC. Blood samples and tissue samples were tested for Classical Swine Fever (CSF) virus by RT-PCR at the Gifu Central LHSC and found to be positive on the 4th of December. The National Institute of Animal Health (NIAH) carried out RT-PCR and sequencing analysis of the amplified products and the NIAH confirmed that this was a case of Classical Swine Fever (CSF) on the 5th of December. Movement and shipment restrictions are imposed on the farms within a radius of 3km and 10km on the affected farm respectively. Stamping out is being carried out on the affected farm. 2. Removal of shipping restriction zone (SRZ): On 00:00 of the 4th of December, shipment restrictions, which were established 10 km radius of the 2nd affected farm, were lifted, as 17 days have passed without positive results of the test conducted in the pig farms located within SRZ after the completion of full implementation of control measures (stamping out, disinfection etc.). 3. Summary of the wild boar surveillance: As of the 30th of November 2018, 466 wild boars (52 dead wild boars and 414 captured wild boars) in Gifu prefecture have been tested and 60 were found to be positive for CSF by RT-PCR since 13th of September. Among the other prefectures, 136 wild boars (129 dead wild boars and 7 captured wild boars) in 37 prefectures were tested and all were found to be negative by RT-PCR since the 14th of September(*). (*): All prefectures are requested to conduct CSF testing on dead wild boars.

On the 9th of December, a captive wild pig was found to be dying and the case was reported to the Gifu Central Livestock Hygiene Service Centre (LHSC). The animal died soon after reporting. Official veterinarians of the Gifu Central LHSC immediately visited the farm and the official veterinarians conducted necropsy examination at the Gifu Central LHSC. Tissue samples were tested for Classical Swine Fever virus (CSFV) by RT-PCR and direct fluorescent antibody test (FAT) at the Gifu Central LHSC and found to be positive on the 10th of December. The National Institute of Animal Health (NIAH) carried out the sequencing analysis of the amplified products and the NIAH confirmed that this was a case of Classical Swine Fever (CSF) on the 10th of December. Movement and shipment restrictions are imposed on the farms within a radius of 3km and 10km of the affected farm respectively. Stamping out was completed on 10th December. Disinfection of contaminated materials and tools as well as inside of the farm was completed on 11th December. 2. 3rd Affected farm (1)Stamping out All pigs on the farm were culled by 6th December 2018. (2)Disposal of dead animals and Disinfection All bodies were buried and disinfection of contaminated materials and tools as well as inside of the farm was completed by 7th December 2018. 3. Summary of the wild boar surveillance: As of the 10th of December 2018, 501 wild boars (54 dead and 447 captured) in Gifu prefecture have been tested and 70 were found to be positive for CSF by RT-PCR since 13th of September. Among the other prefectures, 138 wild boars (130 dead and 8 captured) in 37 prefectures were tested and all were found to be negative by RT-PCR since the 14th of September(*). (*): All prefectures are requested to conduct CSF testing on dead wild boars.

                        Epidemiological comments 1. 5th affected farm On the 14th of December, a pig was found to be positive for CSF by RT-PCR through monitoring program on farms within 10km-radius of the affected farm of the 3rd case. Local official veterinarians of the Gifu Central Livestock Hygiene Service Centre (LHSC) immediately visited the farm. The animal was culled and necropsy examination was conducted at the Gifu Central LHSC. Tissue and blood samples were tested for Classical Swine Fever virus (CSFV) by RT-PCR and direct fluorescent antibody test (FAT) at the Gifu Central LHSC and found to be positive on the 15th of December. The National Institute of Animal Health (NIAH) carried out the sequencing analysis of the amplified products and the NIAH confirmed that this was a case of Classical Swine Fever (CSF) on the 15th of December. Movement and shipment restrictions are imposed on the farms within a radius of 3km and 10km of the affected farm respectively. Stamping out was completed on 15th December. Disinfection of contaminated materials and tools as well as inside of the farm was completed on 16th December. 2. 2nd Affected farm Removal of movement restriction zone (MRZ): On 00:00 of 15th December, movement restrictions, which were established within 3 km radius of the affected farm, were lifted as 28 days have passed after the completion of full implementation of control measures (stamping out, disinfection etc.) in the affected farm. 3. Summary of the wild boar surveillance: As of the 14th of December 2018, 526 wild boars (56 dead and 470 captured) in Gifu prefecture have been tested and 73 were found to be positive for CSF by RT-PCR since 13th of September. Among the other prefectures, 141 wild boars (132 dead and 9 captured) in 37 prefectures were tested and all were found to be negative by RT-PCR since the 14th of September(*). (*): All prefectures are requested to conduct CSF testing on dead wild boars.

                          Epidemiological comments 1. 6th affected farm On the 23rd of December, a pig was found to be positive for CSF by RT-PCR through monitoring program on farms within 10km-radius of the affected farm of the 3rd and 4th case. Local official veterinarians of the Gifu Central Livestock Hygiene Service Centre (LHSC) visited the farm on the 24th of December. The animal and 3 other pigs which were kept at the same barn were culled and necropsy examination was conducted at the Gifu Central LHSC. Tissue and blood samples were tested for Classical Swine Fever virus (CSFV) by RT-PCR at the Gifu Central LHSC and found to be positive on the 25th of December. Stamping out is being carried out. The National Institute of Animal Health (NIAH) carried out the sequencing analysis of the amplified products and the NIAH confirmed that this was a case of Classical Swine Fever (CSF) on the 25th of December. Movement and shipment restrictions are imposed on the farms within a radius of 3km and 10km of the affected farm respectively. 2. 3rd Affected farm Removal of shipment restriction zone (SRZ): On 00:00 of 25th December, shipment restrictions, which were established within 3-10 km radius of the affected farm, were lifted as 17 days have passed after the completion of full implementation of control measures (stamping out, disinfection etc.) at the 3rd affected farm. 3. Summary of the wild boar surveillance: As of the 21st of December 2018, 562 wild boars (60 dead and 502 captured) in Gifu prefecture have been tested and 78 were found to be positive for CSF by RT-PCR since 13th of September. On the 21nd of December, Aichi Central LHSC found samples derived from a wild boar captured in Aichi prefecture, next to Gifu prefecture, to be positive by RT-PCR for CSFV. NIAH conducted gene sequencing and found the samples to be positive. 20 wild boars (7 dead and 13 captured) in Aichi prefecture have been tested and 1 was found to be positive for CSF by RT-PCR since 14th of September. Among the other prefectures, 132 dead wild boars in 36 prefectures were tested and all were found to be negative by RT-PCR since the 14th of September(*). (*): All prefectures are requested to conduct CSF testing on dead wild boars.
