China's Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs said on Friday it had found a new outbreak of African swine fever near the city of Lanzhou in northwestern Gansu province.
More than 90 pigs had already died on the farm of 9,900 pigs, it said. Â
The ministry has recently stepped up efforts to track cases of the disease, which is deadly to pigs and for which there is no cure or vaccine.
