“…However, ASFV is shed in genital secretions and the virus was found in the semen of one boar experimentally infected [47]. Due to that, to ensure that semen is free from ASFV provisions and requirements are reported in the EU legislation [48] and by the OIE [49].…”

African swine fever (ASF) is one of the most severe diseases of pigs; it has a drastic impact on the pig industry, causing serious socio-economic consequences to pig farmers and pork producers. In Europe, there are currently two main clusters of infection; one in Sardinia caused by strains of African swine fever virus (ASFV) belonging to genotype I and another in Eastern Europe caused by strains of ASFV belonging to genotype II. The latter is inducing an acute form of ASF and it represents a serious threat to the pig sector. ASF is a disease for which there is no effective vaccine; therefore, prevention has a pivotal role in the control strategy of the disease. This review describes the main preventive measures to adopt to mitigate the risk of ASF spread in pig farming systems.

“…ASF virus has been shown to be shed in semen [7]. Depending on country or region, there are other viruses like (CSF) Classical Swine Fever [8,9] and FMD (Foot and Mouth disease) [10], that also shed in semen. The same model that has been successfully implemented for PRRS virus could also be implemented for these diseases.…”

“…Porcine semen is considered as a vehicle for viral disease transmission. 23 Pestiviruses, such as CSFV and BVDV have been detected in the boar and bull semens. 24,25 APPV was detected in the preputial fluids and in the semen of 15% boars, which shows that the disease may be transmitted sexually.…”

Summary Emerging porcine pestivirus diseases frequently challenge prevention and control strategies in the swine industry. Over the past decade, a few novel pestiviruses have been identified in pigs. This article focuses on the recently emerging atypical porcine pestivirus (APPV) that potentially threatens global swine herd health security. The virus was first identified in 2016, in the United States and thereafter, accumulated evidence shows that it is currently distributed in three continents. The clinical presentation of APPV‐infected pigs is characterized by congenital tremor (CT) type A‐II in piglets, while adult pigs may become persistent carriers and shedders. Here, a literature review is conducted to summarize the published findings in the virus genomic biology, transmission, epidemiology, pathogenesis, and diagnosis, which would shed light on acceleration of development of anti‐APPV strategies.
