The spread of African swine fever (ASF) is already subsiding, but the threat remains, an official of the Department of Agriculture (DA) said on Tuesday. Undersecretary Zamzamin Ampatuan, who spoke at the opening of the 9th Regional Organic Agriculture Congress held at Negros Residences in Bacolod City, said it is challenge for the DA to remove the viral disease from swine since there is no vaccine yet developed in the country.
