Summary
• Background: ASF in South Asia• Vietnam’s ASF case and challenges• Activities• Potential for Cooperative Projects
ASF in South AsiaFebruary 19* – Vietnam: 63 provinces, 5.4 M pigsApril 2 – Cambodia: 5/25 provincesJune 20 – Laos: 165 outbreaks, 39 K pigsJuly 20 – Philippines: 4/81 provinces, 30 K pigs August 1 – Burma: 4 outbreaksSeptember 27 – East Timor
Map: FAO
Pork Production in Vietnam
• 28 million pigs: 72% of livestock population (by units)• 50 million slaughtered per year• 3.8 million MT produced• 60% of the pigs population lives* in small family farms (5 to 10) distributed in 2.5 million households.

ASF in Vietnam
• Immediate Notification to the OIE on February 20, 2019 (suspect case February 1)
• Current Situation: • 63 provinces and more than 5.4 million pigs culled• Ongoing outbreaks in 4,500 communes (<30 days)
ASF Control in Vietnam
• Detection PCR (Regional Laboratories)• Movement control• Small Farms: Depopulation of all pigs and monitoring of neighboring farms.• Big Farms: Depopulation of pigs in affected barn. Monitoring and controlled slaughter for other animals
• Compensation: Depends on provincial resources.• Disposal: Bury or burn (other options)• Cleaning and Disinfection• Restock is allowed after 30 days
Challenges
• Biosecurity (Investigations, 3D operations, Movement)• Depopulation, Disposal, Decontamination• Movement Control• Swill Feeding• Public Awareness• Surveillance and Risk Analysis (Resources to do analysis)• National Database• Diagnostics: Capacity and Analysis, Efficient Laboratory Network• Vaccine: Autogenous vaccine use
Cooperative Efforts in SE Asia
• Meetings with Department of Animal Health since day 1• Close coordination with FAO office in Hanoi• Partnership with DTRA – BTRP / APHIS• Two FAS funded projects: Funded for 24 months
• Swine Health Information Center• Epix Analytics
• Regional APHIS IS funded projects with Purdue and CSU.
Meetings and Seminars
• July 2019: 3D Evaluation and Seminar (Phase 1)• August 2019: Epix Analytics• September 2019: ASF Course for 1st Responders
Future work
• Regional Course on ASF: Disease Fundamentals, Response, Biosecurity
• APHIS‐DTRA: 1. Disease Management2. Surveillance3. Diagnostics
Opportunities for Cooperation
• Disease transmission studies• Pathway analysis• Oral fluids • Molecular epidemiology • Vaccine field trial
