African swine fever has been detected in three settlements in the south of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, leading to the seizure and burning of over 500 pigs. The disease was first detected in a subsidiary farm in the village of Malaya Minusa, resulting in a quarantine and emergency regime being introduced in the area. Specialists are working to clarify the number of livestock and round-the-clock security and quarantine posts have been organized. African swine fever is a viral disease that affects wild boars and pigs, with the first outbreak in Russia reported in 2007.
