The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs said Friday that the ninth case of the disease had been detected at a pig farm on Ganghwa Island, about 60 kilometers west of Seoul. Two other suspected farms in Yangju, Gyeonggi Province, tested negative.

南韓農林畜產食品部週五表示，第9起病例已在首爾以西約60公里的江華島一個養豬場發現。另外兩個在京畿道楊州市的可疑養豬場，在檢驗後均呈陰性。

The first outbreak of the deadly animal virus was confirmed Sept. 17 at a hog farm in Paju, Gyeonggi Province. All confirmed cases of the virus have been found in the inter-Korean border areas of Incheon and Paju. As the massive spread of swine fever continues, more than 28,000 pigs have been slaughtered as of 7 p.m. Thursday, and some 32,500 more are set to be culled.

此一豬隻致命病毒疫情，南韓最初確認是9月17日在京畿道坡州市一個養豬場爆發。至今所有確認的案例，皆在仁川和坡州的南、北韓邊界地區發現。隨著非洲豬瘟的疫情持續大規模擴散，截至週四晚間7點，逾2.8萬豬隻已遭撲殺，另有約3.25萬隻也將遭選擇性宰殺。
