African swine fever (ASF) was first discovered in 1921 in East Africa as a disease that causes severe epidemics with high mortality in domestic immigrant pigs in British East Africa. It was soon established that warthogs (Phacochoerus afri canus) were the source of the infection (Montgomery, 1921) and that pig was the host, along with a species of soft tick (Ornithodoros spp.). These ticks feed on the blood of warthogs and live in their dens. Warts as well as some other African wild boars can be infected with the ASF virus for a long time without showing signs of the disease (Plowright et al., 1969). The virus has adapted to warthogs and has long been present among African wild pigs by maintaining them in the natural sylvatic cycle of virus circulation among wild pigs in East Africa. After its appearance in the Caucasus in 2007, the ASF virus has spread to the populations of domestic and wild pigs throughout Eastern Europe and the Balkans.
