Only 80 km from the German border, the presence of African swine fever virus (ASF) was detected in a dead boar. Polish and German veterinary authorities are in constant contact.
This is the first time the African swine fever virus has been detected on the Polish-German border. According to the Federal Ministry of Food Policy and Agriculture, the presence of the virus was found on Thursday (14.11.2019) at a boar hit by a car in the Wschowski poviat, less than 80 km from the Brandenburg border. The Ministry has been informed about this by the Polish veterinary authorities.
No cases of ASF have been detected in Germany yet. In addition to Romania, Hungary and the Baltic States, Poland is one of the regions most at risk of African swine fever in Europe. His virus was first discovered five years ago. However, cases of ASF have so far been limited to eastern and central Poland, mainly to the border areas of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship as well as the Lublin and Podlasie regions. In August, a case was detected in Czerwińsk nad Wisłą, about 250 km from the border with Germany. On the Polish-German borderland the latest find is news.
