Australia Searches for African Swine Fever Vaccine

Phil Mercer

   SYDNEY - Australian scientists say it could be another five years
   before a vaccine is developed to protect pigs from African swine fever.
   It is estimated that a quarter of the world's pig population has died
   this year, following the deadly outbreak of the virus in China.

   African swine fever, or ASF, has yet to reach Australia, but it is
   close. The virus has been spreading rapidly through Asia, and outbreaks
   have been reported in East Timor, one of Australia's closest neighbors.
