As controlling CSF infection in wild boars is the priority in CSF control and eradication in Japan, we visited Korea to investigate their political structure, strategy, and the result of ASF and CSF control in the country. For ASF control, the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs oversee controlling the disease in farms, while the Ministry of Environment controls the disease among wild boars. Since ASFV is suspected to be the result of the spread of ASFV among wild boars from the northern part of the Korean Peninsula, intensive surveillance is being conducted to identify the infected area. In farms, strengthening the biosecurity measures such as placing double fences is becoming mandated by the government with its financial support. This information will be beneficial to review and enhance control measures against CSF in Japan.
