Talk:African swine fever virus

message: I think reference 13, Radford, Ben (April 29, 2009). "Blowback? SF Chronicle: CIA Introduced Swine Flu in Cuba to Weaken Castro" should be deleted. The writer of that article, "a scientific paranormal investigator" cites 3 paragraphs from "a San Francisco alternative news site" that seems to think African Swine Fever and Swine Influenza are the same disease (and presumably caused by the same virus?). That's ridiculous, as any virologist could confirm.

message: Currently this article about virus has a lot of disease information which is not very typical to have in a virology article. I think it is better to have a separate African swine fever article where things like signs and symptoms, history of disease and measures of prevention and disease management strategies are described. As a very close example, see how Classical swine fever is a separate article. In many other language versions of Wikipedia, article for disease exists, unlike in English Wikipedia, where it is just a redirect. I actually was bold to start the split, but it got reverted (see discussion here). If there are any objections for this split, please post your opinion here. --Sspeik (talk) 10:13, 16 July 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Splitting into virus and disease articles 

message: US customs intercepted 1 million pounds of pork being smuggled in from China.  The pork will supposedly be incinerated.  The news report doesn't say anything definite about testing it for the virus.  I leave it to others to decide whether to put this in the article, watch for further developments, or whatever. 173.228.123.166 (talk) 07:14, 17 March 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Given the intention to incinerate it, I doubt it will be tested for anything and that it is assumed to have, potentially, everything.--Quisqualis (talk) 21:19, 17 March 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  China interception 

message: An unreferenced note I read says that hundreds of millions (40%) of pigs were slaughtered in China in 2018.
The unsatisfied Chinese demand caused an increase of prices worldwide.
China turned to chicken and stopped importing soy and cereal for forage, altering world markets.
If you can reference it properly, it would be an important addition to the article.
