For a couple of days there have been rumors of African Swine Fever being detected in North Korea (see Korean Times S. Korea prepares for possible outbreak of swine fever in North), but until this morning we had no official confirmation.
The OIE has published an immediate notification (h/t Pathfinder at FluTrackers) regarding the detection of ASF at a cooperative farm in Chagang-do, very near their border with Liaoning, China.
Given the secrecy that shrouds North Korea, it is a little surprising to see an official notification. There have been rumors and speculation for some months, but this is the first official acknowledgement.
