> A University of Minnesota veterinarian describes the continued global spread of African swine fever into new regions in 2023 and 2024. ASF has no approved treatment or widely available vaccine and can kill up to 100% of infected herds. The article estimates that a US outbreak could cost billions through closed export markets.

## Why it matters

ASF spread in exporting countries raises the risk of a US outbreak, which would close export markets and push hog prices down while supporting demand for feed grains if domestic pork is redirected. The article is educational and does not signal a new supply shock.
