Menurut berita mingguan dari Kementerian Pertanian, Kehutanan dan Perikanan Jepang no. 664 20 April 2007, Jepang telah menjadi negara bebas dari penyakit classical swine fever pada tanggal 1 April 2007 setelah memenuhi persyaratan dari OIE code.

Classical swine fever merupakan penyakit menular akut pada babi yang pernah menyebar diseluruh Jepang akan tetapi wabah penyakit ini telah menurun tajam setelah dilakukan pengendalian penyakit ini dan penggunakan vaksin hidup yang dimulai tahun 1969.

Sejak tahun 1992 sudah tidak terdapat wabah penyakit ini. Dalam beberapa kesempatan, program pemberantasan telah diperkenalkan secara bertahap sejak tahun 1996 untuk menetapkan tindakan pengendalian tanpa vaksinasi sehingga dilakukan pemberantasan penyakit ini secara penuh dengan cara bekerjasama dengan pemerintah propinsi dan kabupaten, produser dan semua organisasi terkait.

Sebagai salah satu rangkaian tindakan yang telah dilakukan yaitu pelarangan vaksinasi sejak 1 April 2006 dan diikuti pengamatan penyakit ini. Setahun kemudian dilaporkan hasil program pemberantasan penyakit tersebut kepada organisasi dunia Office International des Epizooties (OIE). Jepang telah menjadi negara bebas dari penyakit classical swine fever pada tanggal 1 April 2007 setelah memenuhi persyaratan dari OIE code.

Bagaimana kalau kita ikuti langkah Jepang ini. Atau kita hanya ingin bernostalgia saja bagaimana beratnya usaha kita membebaskan penyakit foot and mouth disease di Indonesia.
