Emergence of African swine fever in Bangladesh: key findings from an outbreak investigation
Since the initial outbreak, no detailed investigation of African swine fever (ASF) has been documented in Bangladesh. This field investigation, therefore, represents the first comprehensive report in the country. Continued in-depth studies, including genomic characterization of the virus and systemic surveillance of the pig population, are essential for the effective control and prevention of ASF in Bangladesh.
