Porcine cholera expanded in Korea From North Korea beyond "perfect iron fence"?

Outbreaks of African swine fever are increasing in Korean pig farms. The route of infection was unknown, but in October, a virus was detected from the dead body of a wild boar near the border with North Korea, and the “North Korea theory” suddenly emerged. The Korean army is in a fuss about embarking on epidemics near the border between the North and South.

African swine fever is more toxic than swine fever, which is currently confirmed in Japan, and has a very high fatality rate when infecting livestock. There is no vaccine and prevention at the water's edge is important. According to the Korean government, a pig farm in Paju City, Gyeonggi-do reported on September 16 that “five sows were dead”, and when tested, a positive test for African swine fever was found. Since then, outbreaks have been confirmed in 13 pig farms including Gimpo and Incheon near Seoul by October 3.
