- Mass of pigs have died in Mizoram due to the resurgence of the African Swine Fever (ASF) outbreak this year since March 20.
- ASF is a highly contagious and fatal animal disease that infects and leads to an acute form of haemorrhagic fever in domestic and wild pigs.
- Historically, outbreaks have been reported in Africa and parts of Europe, South America, and the Caribbean.
- However, since 2007, the disease has been reported in multiple countries across Africa, Asia and Europe, in both domestic and wild pigs.
- The mortality is close to 95% - 100% and since the fever has no cure, the only way to stop its spread is by culling the animals.
