The article highlights the ongoing laboratory surveillance of the African Swine Fever (ASF) virus by Rosselkhoznadzor, with a focus on the activities of the Belgorod Testing Laboratory. Despite examining a large number of samples since the start of the year, no positive cases have been found recently. However, five samples from pigs have tested positive for the virus's genetic material. The disease is currently spreading among pigs in Russia, with 39 active outbreaks reported as of November 14, 2022, affecting both wild and domestic pigs across 12 federal subjects. Given the virus's resistance and the lack of a vaccine, control measures include detection, destruction of infected pigs, disinfection, and quarantine.
