South Africa has detected cases of African Swine Fever in the Eastern Cape Province.
The country has since notified the World Organisation for Animal Health about the Africa Swine Fever.
African Swine Fever is caused by a virus that affects domestic pigs and wild boar.
The disease kills almost all infected pigs and has no treatment and no vaccine.
The new outbreak comes months after the government banned the public auction of hoofed livestock to prevent the spread of foot and mouth disease in December.
