African Swine Fever

African Swine fever in its classical form is a paracute to acute, highly fatal disease of domestic pigs caused by a virus. It was originally confined to Africa by its natural hosts namely argasid ticks and wild suids in which infection is inapparent. The disease is characterized by high fever, short course with skin congestion, cyanosis, prostration, and widespread haemorrhages in many organ systems, particularly the lymphoid tissues. Morbidity and mortality rates are almost 100%. However, where the disease has become endemic in domestic pigs, mortality rates may be considerably reduced. This video provides information on the epidemiology clinical signs, pathology and diagnosis of African swine fever.

Zoonoses are infectious diseases transmitted from animals to humans.

Zoonoses are infectious diseases transmitted from animals to humans. Such as COVID-19, bird flu, malaria or Ebola. Zoonoses infect about 2.6 billion people each year. Some zoonotic diseases, such as rabies, are spread only from direct contact between animals and humans. Others, and the most dangerous, start with animals and are capable of causing widespread human-to-human transmission. Nuclear-derived technologies can be used to track pathogens as they move from animals to humans to help the world better respond to any future outbreaks.
