How many pigs were tested for JE in Kampung Lubong?

Question

Accepted Answer

All Pig Blood Serum Samples Taken in Kampung Lubong Have Tested Negative for Japanese Encephalitis

A total of 30 blood serum samples have been collected from pigs in Kampung Lubong, Tambunan, and all have tested negative for Japanese Encephalitis (JE). These samples were taken following the confirmation of a JE case in a 21-year-old man from the same village.
Initial Sampling Yielded Negative Results

Earlier testing involved seven blood serum samples taken from pigs belonging to the JE patient's family and their neighbours. These initial samples were all confirmed to be negative for the virus.
Further Samples Collected and Tested

Subsequently, an additional 23 blood serum samples were collected from pigs in Kampung Lubong. This brought the cumulative total of tested samples to 30, with all results remaining negative for JE.
Expanded Sampling Plan Underway

The Department of Veterinarian Services (DVS) has indicated plans to collect samples from an additional 50 pigs within Kampung Lubong. This expanded effort is necessary due to the free-range nature of the pig rearing in the village, requiring the animals to be caught before samples can be obtained.
