# 2002/106/EC: Commission Decision of 1 February 2002 approving a Diagnostic Manual establishing diagnostic procedures, sampling methods and criteria for evaluation of the laboratory tests for the confirmation of classical swine fever (Text with EEA relevance) (notified under document number C(2002) 381), Division 3

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

The main natural route of infection is oro-nasal by direct or indirect contact with infected pigs or by feeding of virus contaminated feed. In areas with a high density of pigs, spread of virus easily occurs between neighbouring pig holdings. Disease transmission via semen of infected boars may also occur.
