ABSTRACT

African Swine Fever (ASF) was diagnosed for the first time in Madagascar in 1998. ASF has apparently been introduced from the African continent to the southern part of the island with a subsequent spread to other regions except for areas in the north and in the west. The epidemic has had severe economic consequences for the home market of pork meat production. This article reviews the course of the epidemic with particular emphasis on the vectors involved in the transmission of the virus, such as the soft tick, Ornithodoros moubata porcinus. Presence of this vector and of the bushpig, Potamochoerus larvatus, as a potential wild reservoir, are some of the major obstacles in control of ASF in Madagascar. A veterinary disease surveillance system has to be urgently warranted.

ABSTRACT

La Peste Porcine Africaine (PPA) a récemment fait son apparition à Madagascar.Officiellement diagnostiquée fin 1998, la PPA a vraisemblablement été introduite à Madagascar en 1997 dans le sud du pays à partir de virus provenant du continent africain. La PPA s'estensuite propagée dans la quasi-totalité du pays à l'exception de la région d'Antsiranana (Nord) et de Morondava (Ouest). La maladie a eu des conséquences économiques désastreuses et aentraîné la désorganisation de la filière porcine malgache.Nous rapportons ici l'histoire de cette émergence et l'existence de particularités locales comme la présence de vecteurs, les tiques du genre Ornithodoros - O. moubata porcinus - et de réservoirs sauvages potentiels comme le potamochère - Potamochoerus larvatus - qui compromettentl'éradication de la maladie.Ces faits renforcent la nécessité pour Madagascar de disposer d'un système d'alerte et de riposte rapide
