African Swine Fever (ASF) is a highly contagious virus with elevated morbidity and mortality rates in swine (USDA APHIS, 2019). While instances of this virus have been identified and documented for approximately 100 years, ASF has received increased attention recently due to a wide spread outbreak first identified in China in August 2018 (USDA APHIS, 2019). Over a two-year period, more than 40% of the swine breeding herd has been lost in China with an economic loss of nearly $40 million from culled animals alone (Shao et al., 2018). Disposal of the infected carcasses and waste is also an environmental challenge. As ASF has spread into other Asian and European countries, concerns over such an outbreak in the US are increasing. Presently, no vaccines are commercially available for ASF (USDA APHIS, 2019).
