Recently, African swine fever has recurred in many localities, including many communes of Dien Chau district. Currently, in the district, there is one commune, Dien Hoa, where African swine fever is still occurring. Therefore, people need to be aware of disease prevention for livestock; Local authorities and specialized agencies also need to strengthen inspection and strictly handle those transporting pigs and pork products of unknown origin, in order to protect local pigs from being infected with the disease./.
