During the past two weeks, six dead wild boars have been found in the Cape Collinson Nature Reserve according to the South China Morning Post. The most recent carcass examined yielded African swine fever virus. Hong Kong has approximately 3,000 wild boars that obviously now represent a reservoir of infection.
There are approximately forty hog farms in Hong Kong holding 75,000 head. All are at risk without adequate biosecurity since there is no vaccine to protect herds. ASF can be regarded as endemic in neighboring Guangdong Province on the Mainland of China.
