The recent rounds of swine fever outbreaks in China have slashed the hog population in northern China by at least 20 percent, various industry estimates found.
New Hope Liuhe, China’s fourth-largest producer, also found two new virus strains in January that had infected more than 1,000 hogs on their farms. As the virus could remain contagious for months and even years in some products, the discovery raised concerns of the new strains spreading to other parts of the world through contaminated meat.
GM Biotech, a privately-owned biotechnology firm based in Hunan that develops testing kits for the disease, said the new strains are “very difficult to detect at the initial stage of infection and have a longer incubation period after infection,” Reuters reported
