In China at the beginning of March the disease was registered in 28 provinces, and the total number of outbreaks from August 2018 was 112. According to the latest update of the Food and agriculture organization of the United Nations, China has culled more than 950,000 pigs.

Due to the constant attack of the virus of British pig farmers are most concerned about the growing population of wild pigs in the country. As the growth of the animals leave the main part of the forest and into areas frequented by people. They find easy access to food sources, mostly in domestic containers, which can easily come into contact with the discarded contaminated meat Achs. Boars also often come into contact with domestic pigs in areas adjacent to the forest, which increases the chance of spreading the virus.

40 per cent of herds in the UK is constantly outdoors in paddocks, which are often located near pedestrian or automobile routes. This increases the risk of infection from discarded human products, as it was in 2000 classical swine fever.

Thirdly, as studies have shown, many of the small farmers of great Britain do not understand the risk of feeding pigs household waste and are not aware of the illegality of such activities.

NPA insists that the border control authorities of the country belonged to the likelihood of importing infected Achs products is much more serious than today. Also urgently need a more effective approach to managing the population of wild boar, which will include measures for its reduction to acceptable levels.

According to statistics, the UK is becoming increasingly dependent on their exports, which is now estimated at 470 million pounds per year. One of the most important countries in export markets - China. It took 5 years to restore the trade with China after the last known outbreak of FMD in 2001. Unfortunately, China does not recognize the regionalization strategy of the EU and block all exports of pork products from ASF affected countries.
