STAVROPOL, October 24 (RIA Novosti) - Around 600 pigs will be culled in southern Russia to prevent the spread of African swine fever virus, which was detected in Stavropol Region last week, a spokesperson for the regional governor said on Friday.
The outbreak was reported on October 15 in the village of Gorkaya Balka at a farm containing around 460 pigs. Later tests confirmed the deaths were caused by the African swine fever virus, which has killed around 120 animals.
"The animals are being culled at a pig farm where deaths were caused by African swine fever, and at a neighboring farm to prevent contagion," he said.
An investigation has been launched into possible infringements of veterinary regulations, which could carry up to two years in prison.
Outbreaks of the highly contagious virus, which was first registered in 1903 in South Africa, are rare outside the region, but 5,000 pigs were culled or died from the virus in the summer in Russia's North Caucasus republic of North Ossetia.
In spring 2007 there were outbreaks in 10 Georgian regions, where a total of 20,000 pigs were culled. The virus does not pose a threat to humans.:tiphat:http://en.rian.ru/russia/20081024/117933567.html

In the Stavropol region in the pockets of African swine fever to the environment beaten more than 11 thousand head of cattle. "Overall the centers at the forefront of threatened areas, there were about 11.4 thousand pigs. More than 11 thousand animals beaten. The balance today is just over 300 heads", - said an anonymous representative of the management of veterinary Stavropolskomu edge.

He explained that the "first endangered zones" are locations where the virus was detected African swine fever: The Painful Balka village Soviet area, the village Grushovskoe Alexander area page Staropavlovskaya Kirov district and village Yutsa foothill areas.

A head of veterinary medicine on the edge of the Stavropol Vasily Serdyukov said that the success of measures to eliminate hotbeds of infection in the Stavropol would depend including what position to take power neighboring regions.

"We hope that this is the last house.

Farms Cull Pigs After Fever Outbreak
15 January 2009

A Stavropol region collective farm and nearby villages are culling around 7,000 pigs after an outbreak of African swine fever began to spread, and the nearby city of Sochi said it had allotted 4 million rubles ($126,000) to contain an outbreak there.

The disease, which is still prevalent in sub-Saharan Africa, has been largely eradicated in the rest of the world, although there was a major outbreak in the Caucasus in 2007. The disease is not dangerous to humans.

A Stavropol region veterinary official told Interfax that 1,000 animals were culled Wednesday at the Rostovanovsky collective farm, bringing the total to around 2,600. The farm had 6,500 pigs, and there are another 640 within the quarantine zone, said Viktor Sankin, the region's head veterinarian.

Krasnodar Deputy Governor Vladimir Kharlamov said Tuesday that 10 pigs had died in his region, apparently of African swine fever, and a quarantine was opened to contain the outbreak.

The disease was first detected Jan. 8, and about 200 pigs have died of the infection. An earlier outbreak in the Stavropol region in October was contained, the report said. Four collective farm workers have been charged with violations of veterinary regulations for the earlier outbreak in the Gorkaya Balka village.

A major outbreak in the Caucasus region prompted a scare in 2007, and Georgian authorities killed some 30,000 pigs after the UN warned that it could cause an economic disaster for the region.

The disease was first reported in Russia after several wild boars were shot in late 2007 in Chechnya, Interfax reported. The nearby republics of Ingushetia, North Ossetia and the Orenburg region also registered cases.

Region Sees 3rd Swine Fever Outbreak
20 March 2009
The Moscow Times

Veterinary officials on Thursday confirmed an outbreak of African swine fever at a collective farm in the southern Stavropol region, the third such incident in the area since October.

A Moscow region lab confirmed that pigs at the Lenin kolkhoz were infected with the disease. A team of veterinarians, law enforcement officers and Emergency Situations Ministry officials were working in the quarantine zone, and police are guarding entrances to the farm, local news agencies reported.

The disease, which has largely been eradicated outside sub-Saharan Africa, has caused serious damage in the agricultural Stavropol region since an outbreak was confirmed there in October. More than 18,000 pigs there have been culled or died of the disease since, Rossiiskaya Gazeta said on its web site Thursday.

The Gazeta newspaper reported Thursday that officials were also trying to contain a suspected outbreak in South Ossetia. African swine fever is not dangerous to humans.

A local Emergency Situations Ministry official said about 50 pigs had died at the farm in the Kievka village, Interfax reported. Roughly 2,700 pigs -- most of them at private farms -- are within the quarantine zone, a local veterinary official told the news agency.

A major outbreak in the Caucasus in 2007 was blamed on wild boars, and Georgian officials had to cull 30,000 pigs after the United Nations warned that the outbreak could cause an economic disaster.

In January, some 7,000 pigs were culled after the disease was detected at another Stavropol region farm.
