UPI reports: "A new pest that threatens key agricultural commodities is spreading
through China as the nation is reeling from an African swine fever
epidemic that may wipe out hundreds of millions of hogs. [...] The moth
has arrived as China is losing a large percentage of its food supply to
the rapid spread of African swine fever, which has spread to hogs
throughout the country."
