Abstract
African Swine Fever (ASF) is an infectious, transboundary and notifiable disease of pigs with global distribution and a vast socio-economic threat to the livestock communities. The first-ever case of ASF in Malaysia was reported in February 2021. The purpose of the study was to describe the distribution of ASF outbreaks in Malaysia between February 2021 and April 2023 through a descriptive epidemiological approach. Public data on ASF outbreaks were retrieved from the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) World Animal Health Information System (WAHIS) interface and further analysed through descriptive statistics, epidemic curves, disease maps and clusters investigation. A total number of 176 outbreaks were reported in Malaysia throughout the study period which comprises 111 domestic pig outbreaks and 65 wild pig outbreaks. Among the domestic pig outbreaks, 7524 cases were reported among 74333 susceptible pigs (mean morbidity: 43.94%); from those infected, 6186 deaths occurred (mean case-fatality: 73.62%) and 62937 pigs were culled (mean culled rate: 57.37%).
