    According to Korea Radio International, the fall of winter has increased the risk of outbreaks of livestock and poultry infectious diseases such as African swine fever, highly pathogenic avian influenza and foot-and-mouth disease, and local local autonomous groups in South Korea have stepped up epidemic prevention
    .
     
    According to the report, according to the news of Gyeonggi Province, Gangwon Province and other places on the 5th, in order to effectively deal with infectious diseases of livestock and poultry, local autonomous groups have designated this month to February next year as a "special epidemic prevention countermeasure period"
    .
    In September, there were four outbreaks
    of African swine fever in Chuncheon, Gangwon-do, Gimpo, Gyeonggi-do, and Paju.
    There is currently no vaccine to prevent African swine fever, and the mortality rate of the disease is close to 100%.
    This year, there were six outbreaks in Hongcheon, Yangkou (August 19), Chuncheon (September 18 and 19) in Gangwon Province and Gimpo and Paju (September 28) in Gyeonggi Province, showing a trend of
    spread.
     
    It is reported that the number of cases of African swine fever in wild boars across South Korea has also shown an increasing trend, with 55 cases in 2019, 856 cases in 2020, 964 cases last year, and 786 cases
    this year.
    Previously, the outbreak had only occurred in Gyeonggi and Gangwon-do, but in recent years it has spread to Chungcheongbuk-do and Gyeongsang-do provinces
    .
     
    Highly pathogenic avian influenza erupts mainly in winter, causing huge losses
    to farmers.
    Last year, there were 47 outbreaks across the country, with a total loss of 36.
    2 billion won
    .
     
    In addition, through vaccination, the loss caused by foot-and-mouth disease has been significantly reduced, but the disease is still concentrated in winter, which makes farmers nervous
    .
     
    According to the report, special epidemic prevention
    has been launched across the country.
    Gyeonggi Province, where there are many poultry and livestock farmers, will implement special epidemic prevention measures
    by February next year.
    Gangwon Province, which has experienced an African swine fever epidemic for three consecutive years, is also doing its best to stop the spread of
    the epidemic.
    This year, the corpses of wild boars infected with African swine fever have been found in Gyeongsang North Province, and epidemic prevention work is being carried out to curb the spread of
    the epidemic.
    Across the West Coast, efforts are being made to prevent bird flu
    .
     
    In addition, local self-government groups have strengthened the vaccination of foot-and-mouth disease and imposed fines, additional vaccinations, and guided inspections on farms with low antibody formation rates
