African Swine Fever

ASF fact sheetAfrican swine fever virus (ASF) is a serious, highly resistant, viral disease. Since August 2018, ASF has been rapidly spreading throughout China and Asia. U.S. swine industry organizations are working continuously on prevention and response to help keep ASF out of U.S. pig farms. ASF cannot be transmitted to humans, so it is not a public health or food safety concern.

Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD)

FMD is a highly contagious viral disease that primarily affects cloven-hooved livestock and wildlife. It is characterized by ulcerations and blisters on the snout, mouth and coronary bands of pigs, sheep and cattle. It is considered a foreign animal disease, since it is not currently in the United States.

Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus (PEDV)
PEDV is a coronavirus that is related to transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV) and causes enteric disease clinically indistinguishable from TGE.

Senecavirus A
Senecavirus A (formerly known as Seneca Valley Virus) is a non-enveloped single-stranded RNA virus of the family Picornaviridae. The ultimate concern is that clinical signs may be clinically indistinguishable from other vesicular diseases which are foreign animal diseases.
