Three districts in the central province of Nghe An, Vietnam have reported 383 pigs deaths due to Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus (PRRSV) infection, also known as blue ear disease.

According to reports, the disease has already affected herds in Dien Kim and Dien Thai Communes of Dien Chau District; Quynh Thach, Quynh Van, and Quynh Xuan Communes in Quynh Luu District; and five communes in Yen Thanh District.
