The Eastern Visayas Regional Office of the Department of Agriculture has confirmed that African Swine Fever has reached Lope de Vega, Northern Samar.
DA Region 8 Technical Director Elvira Torres said it was the first confirmed outbreak outside Leyte province, prompting the agency to send teams to investigate how ASF reached one of the town’s backyard farms. “There are reports that the virus was carried by a person who visited the hog farm. Traveling from a place with ASF could lead to new outbreaks without proper biosecurity practices."
Authorities have identified over 200 pigs in Lope de Vega that will be subjected to depopulation to stop the spread of the virus. They are located within the 500-meter radius from the confirmed case.
