10/30/2019 sumutpos
MEDAN, SUMUTPOS.CO - A total of 11 districts / cities in North Sumatra Province tested positive for African swine fever (ASF) virus. The 11 regencies / cities include Dairi Regency, Humbang Hasundutan, Deliserdang, Medan, Karo, Toba Samosir, Serdang Bedagai, North Tapanuli, Central Tapanuli, South Tapanuli, and Samosir District.
The Head of the Animal Health and Animal Husbandry Department of North Sumatra's Health, Mulkan Harahap, explained that he had already taken steps to anticipate the virus in North Sumatra.
He claimed to have formed a team and collected it
the experts, together with the ministry, descended on four dominant pig population districts such as in Humbang Hasundutan, Dairi, Deliserdang and Simalungun. That is also to test samples of the virus.
Mulkan said that the swine fever virus was more difficult to deal with than the bird flu virus. Because the layers of this virus are very numerous, unlike handling bird flu. "So we appeal, when a pig dies, then it is immediately buried. Don't throw it into the river or even sell it, "Mulkan told reporters on Tuesday (10/29).
Mulkan further said, all regencies / cities in North Sumatra had been reminded through a circular about standard operating procedures (SOP) so that dead pigs were immediately buried. This swine fever virus, he added, has actually been happening for a long time. But in June 2018, the virus entered China then spread to Vietnam and finally in Timor Leste.
Meanwhile, to date, as many as 4,071 pigs in North Sumatra have died due to a deadly virus attack by the four-legged cattle. But according to Mulkan, there are three versions of the data concerning
population of pigs that died in North Sumatra until 29 October 2019. First, the results of reports from field officers were 4,071. Secondly, the North Sumatra Verteriner Center report was 3,523 heads, and according to the Isikhnas report reported online there were 3,101 heads. "The most experienced deaths were Dairi Regency with 1,513 and Deliserdang with 1,328. While in Medan, there are two pigs that have been attacked, "said Mulkan.
As is known ASF is a contagious disease in pigs and can infect members of the Suidae family, both farmed pigs and wild pigs. ASF is a dangerous disease caused by a class one virus or a quarantine animal pest (HPHK) that has never existed in Indonesia and is very dangerous. Which can spread through transport objects, food scraps and others.
Likewise, Mulkan emphasized that neither hog cholera nor African swine fever had an impact on humans. It's just that the distribution is so fast and will cause huge losses to pig farmers.
The Head of the Department of Food and Animal Husbandry of North Sumatra Province, Azhar Harahap, also claimed to have anticipated the spread of the virus by going straight to the field. "We met with regents and there were also representatives of regents and mayors in the field," said Azhar Harahap.
Another anticipatory step is to emphasize the prohibition of movement of pigs between villages. So that the spread is not fast to other areas.
However, Azhar denied the news that mentioned, there are already people who are victims of the African swine fever virus (African swine fever / ASF) in North Sumatra. This is in line with circulating photos on social media that a woman is said to be affected by the swine fever virus with a body full of purplish spots. According to Azhar, that is not true or hoax.
"That's another disease. So until now we have not found in the field, especially in North Sumatra, humans infected with the pig virus. That is another disease, "said Azhar. But unfortunately, he did not explain further the type of disease.
Separately, the Head of the North Sumatra Health Service, Alwi Mujahit Hasibuan, also said similar things. According to him it has not received reports of human victims infected with the swine fever virus to date in North Sumatra. "There was a circulation of a photo of a woman who was said to be infected with a pig virus, with a body full of purplish spots, it was a hoax. But even so, we will monitor it, "said Alwi.
Meanwhile, Head of the Animal Quarantine Agency of Agricultural Quarantine Agency (Barantan), Dr Anes Doni, through WhatsApp said, the clinical symptoms of ASF in pigs are decreased appetite, lethargy, cyanosis (appearing bluish due to lack of oxygen supply), movement coordination (staggering and even paralyzed ), hemorrhage (bleeding) on the skin, vomiting, bloody diarrhea and abortion (miscarriage associated with high temperature fever).
