China is investigating the origins of three recent African swine flu outbreaks to determinate whether they are linked, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs said on Monday.

The ministry said it will share the information with the public when it is available.

The latest outbreak occurred at a pig farm in Lianyungang, Jiangsu province, with 615 pigs infected, leading to the loss of 88 animals as of Sunday, the ministry said in a statement on Sunday.
