The most important characteristics and the distribution of the viruses of African swine fever and hog cholera are reviewed. Both viruses were probably present simultaneously in South Africa in the first two decades of the century. While hog cholera was eradicated by 1918, African swine fever persists to the present day because it has a different epizootiology. The role played by wild pigs and the argasid tick (Ornithodoros moubata porcinus) in the epizootiology of African swine fever is discussed and an account of the outbreaks of the disease in South Africa from 1926 to 1974 is given. It appears that the disease in the Transvaal has had a cyclic occurrence.
本文综述了非洲猪瘟和猪霍乱病毒的最重要特征及其分布情况。在20世纪的头二十年里，这两种病毒可能同时存在于南非。虽然猪霍乱在1918年已被根除，但非洲猪瘟一直持续至今，因为它具有不同的动物流行病学特征。本文讨论了野猪和钝缘蜱（Ornithodoros moubata porcinus）在非洲猪瘟动物流行病学中所起的作用，并介绍了1926年至1974年南非该病的爆发情况。看来德兰士瓦省的这种疾病呈周期性发生。
