Lee Fitzpatrick, the director of the Australian Institute of Tropical Veterinary and Animal Sciences, says cases of the disease are now being found in southern parts of neighboring Papua New Guinea.
Mr Fitzpatrick says the disease, which does not affect humans, could decimate the pig populations in both countries.
Mr Fitzpatrick says, if left unchecked, the disease could also spread down into Australia and threaten the pork industry there.
