ASF reported in another German district
A dead wild boar was found recently in the woods neighbouring the town of Bleyen in the district of Markisch-Oderland, 60 km away from the first infected area in Germany. Test results have not confirmed yet if the animal died from the African swine fever virus, but local media speculates that the disease advances through the country. The town of Bleyen is also located in the proximity of the German-Polish border, which means that the outbreak may have originated in Poland.
In the last week and a half, the Supreme Veterinary Authority in Poland has confirmed more than 50 cases of ASF in wild boars, the closest to the border being at just 20 km. Due to the ASF outbreak, Germany has lost access to some international markets, mostly in Asia, where pork imports from Germany have been banned in Japan, South Korea, the Philippines and China. So far, 38 wild boars have been found infected with the virus.
