Abstract: Classical Swine Fever (CSF) is a highly contagious viral disease affecting domestic and wild pigs, representing one of the most significant sanitary and economic threats to the global swine industry. This study aimed to perform an integrated analysis of the clinical, pathological, and epidemiological aspects of CSF through a qualitative and descriptive literature review. Scientific databases and official national and international documents were consulted, including studies published between 2000 and 2025. The findings demonstrate that CSF presents a wide range of clinical manifestations, from acute and fatal forms to chronic and subclinical infections, making field diagnosis challenging. From a pathological perspective, generalized hemorrhagic lesions, lymphoid depletion, and multisystem involvement are prominent, reflecting the virus’s tropism for immune system cells. Epidemiologically, the disease is strongly associated with animal movement, contaminated fomites, and the ingestion of infected waste, as well as the potential for silent maintenance through persistent infections. The integration of clinical, pathological, and epidemiological aspects proved essential for early suspicion, accurate diagnosis, and implementation of effective control measures. It is concluded that continuous epidemiological surveillance, combined with laboratory diagnosis and biosecurity strategies, is crucial for the prevention, control, and eradication of CSF, particularly in countries aiming to achieve or maintain disease-free status.
