A new case of African Swine Fever (ASF) has been confirmed in East China's Anhui Province, said the country's Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs on Monday, being the second outbreak of the disease in the city of Xuancheng, Anhui.

The latest outbreak, the seventh in the country since early August, killed 83 pigs and infected another 152 on a farm with 308 pigs, said the ministry.

The new case follows an announcement on Sunday of an earlier case in the same city.

All remaining pigs on the farm have been culled, and blockades have been set up to prevent transport in and out of the area, said the ministry.
