African Swine Fever (ASF)

ASF has been confirmed in countries close to Australia including Timor Leste.

ASF is a contagious disease of pigs. It doesn't affect human health.

An ASF outbreak in Australia would have a serious impact on the pork and agriculture industries.

Travellers, pig owners and hunters should follow the advice on the Department of Primary Industry and Resources website:
