A description of the clinical signs and lesions of African swine fever, and its differential diagnoses in pigs slaughtered at selected abattoirs in central Uganda
ASF in pigs slaughtered in central Uganda presents with clinical signs and lesions that vary; they present as healthy pigs or pigs with subacute or acute disease. However, surveillance programs in Uganda will require confirmatory laboratory diagnosis due to the occurrence of pathogens that cause similar clinical signs and lesions.
