The National Agrarian Health Service (Senasa) in Argentina is increasing control measures at the country's entry points to prevent the informal entry of merchandise that could risk the spread of African swine fever (ASF), following the confirmation of the disease in the Dominican Republic by the USDA-APHIS. Since the outbreak in China and other Asian countries, Senasa has been implementing preventive measures. The disease, which affects pigs and has been reported in Europe, Asia, and Africa, does not pose a risk to human health but can have negative economic impacts. It is highly contagious and can be transmitted through direct contact with infected pigs or by consuming leftover infected pig meat or products.
