The first ever case of African swine fever has been reported in the Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR). China’s Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs confirmed the outbreak and said that the disease was found in two counties and one district in TAR, including the city of Linzhi near the border with India. African swine fever is believed to infect only pigs; no human or other species has been infected so far.
