Spain's Race Against Swine Fever: Boar Patrols to Protect Pork Industry
Spanish authorities are urgently working to identify and isolate wild boars potentially infected with African swine fever to protect the country's valuable pork industry. Using advanced technology and police forces, they aim to prevent the highly contagious disease from spreading into domestic herds, maintaining strict control measures on farms.
Devdiscourse News Desk | Updated: 01-12-2025 21:58 IST | Created: 01-12-2025 21:58 IST​

In a bid to safeguard Spain's lucrative pork industry, police, soldiers, and park rangers are actively tracking wild boars potentially infected with African swine fever. The aggressive approach includes utilizing drones, infra-red tech, and sniffer dogs to locate carcasses while sealing off potential cross-contamination routes under highways and pipeworks.

Barriers have sprung up around Barcelona's Collserola mountain range, a popular recreational spot, where visitors are deterred and residents instructed to report sightings. Reinforced measures are in play at local farms following Interporc guidelines, encompassing robust testing protocols, perimeter defenses, and stringent hygiene practices to stave off the virus's encroachment...

African swine fever in Catalonia: the epidemic is growing... Seven new cases confirmed by authorities near Barcelona

Published on 02/12/2025 at 17:32
Loïs Dzouz

In the coming days, the government must define a series of exceptional measures to strengthen biosecurity on all Catalan farms and reduce the wild boar population.

Seven more wild boars have died from African swine fever near Barcelona, ​​in the area where the viral disease was first detected in Catalonia, bringing the total number of cases recorded since last week to nine. No infected animals have been detected on farms within a 20-kilometer radius of the initial outbreak, the Catalan Ministry of Agriculture confirmed.

Collserola Natural Park, where all cases of African swine fever have been detected, is home to approximately a thousand wild boars. Managing their population therefore presents a significant challenge for the Catalan authorities.

The army as reinforcements

As reported by 3cat , an emergency veterinary team from the European Commission, composed of epidemiologists, arrived on site this Tuesday to "assess the measures put in place on the ground and issue recommendations to strengthen actions to control the disease as quickly as possible ," the ministry added.

The day before, 120 rural agents and about a hundred soldiers from the UME (Spanish Military Emergency Unit), supported by drones, were deployed to "carry out disinfection, prospecting, search and removal work for animals" .

One of the hypotheses considered by experts for the return of this virus to Spain is that it could have arrived via contaminated deli meat in a sandwich transported by road, then consumed by a wild boar.

A deadly disease

African swine fever, which affects domestic pigs as well as wild boars and certain tick species, manifests itself through significant physical and physiological disorders. Although highly contagious among animals, it poses no risk to humans, either through contact or consumption of pork products.

The country exports 2.77 million tonnes annually to more than one hundred countries, a large part of which are outside Europe, hence Madrid's efforts to prevent the virus from reaching Catalan farms.

In Europe, African swine fever is currently present in the Baltic countries and in several territories of Eastern Europe, since its arrival from Russia in 2014.

EU veterinarians are assessing the swine fever outbreak in Barcelona as cases reach nine

Published on 02/12/2025 at 16:50 - Modified on 02/12/2025 at 18:24

A task force of European Union veterinarians began work in Barcelona on Tuesday to help contain an outbreak of African swine fever, as Spain, one of the world's leading pork exporters, announced that the number of wild boars infected with the virus had risen to nine.

Experts in virology and risk management will travel to the affected area, located in the municipality of Bellaterra northwest of Barcelona, ​​to assess the situation, provide advice and formulate recommendations, a spokesperson for the European Commission said.

Spain is the leading pork producer in the European Union, accounting for a quarter of the bloc's production, ahead of Germany, with annual exports worth approximately 3.5 billion euros ($4.05 billion).

Shipments to China, which accounts for nearly 42% of Spanish pork exports outside the EU, resumed on Monday from other parts of the country, as Beijing confirmed it would only restrict imports from the Barcelona region.

Other countries, including the United Kingdom, Mexico, and Canada, have suspended a wide range of shipments of pork and pork by-products from across Spain. Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez urged these countries to continue purchasing products from regions outside the lockdown zone.

Agriculture Minister Luis Planas said that the UK had indicated it would adopt the same approach as the European Union, allowing imports from unaffected areas, and discussions are underway with Canada for a similar arrangement.
...
Authorities suspect the virus may have spread after a wild boar consumed contaminated food, possibly a sandwich brought from abroad. The virus is harmless to humans, but spreads rapidly among pigs and wild boars, for whom it can be fatal.

It was first detected in two wild boars in a wooded and hilly area outside Barcelona. Seven other wild boars from the same area have also died from the disease, the Ministry of Agriculture announced on Tuesday.

Catalan authorities have restricted all recreational activities, including hunting, within a 20km radius of where the first two animals were discovered. A smaller 6km perimeter has been completely sealed off, with traps set and thermal imaging drones deployed to capture and test the wild boars.

Madrid / Barcelona - DEC 05, 2025 - 09:55 EST
​

The Ministry of Agriculture announced on Friday that it has opened an investigation to determine whether the African swine fever virus, detected on November 28 in two wild boars found dead near the Collserola Natural Park (Barcelona), escaped from a laboratory. The first carcass of an infected animal was found hundreds of meters from the IRTA CReSA animal health research center , which works with the virus and has repeatedly denied any possibility of an escape in recent days.

[FONT=roboto_condensedregular]The Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food opens a supplementary investigation into the origin of the African swine fever virus in Spain[/FONT]

[FONT=roboto_condensedregular]December 5, 2025
Within the framework of compliance with European Union (EU) regulations[/FONT]

​


[FONT=roboto_condensedregular]The Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food has opened a new investigation into the origin of African swine fever (ASF) in Spain, after receiving today the report from the EU reference laboratory communicating the results of sequencing the genome of the ASF virus.

This is a complementary investigation to the one started on November 28, the date on which the outbreak of African swine fever was detected in Cerdanyola del Vallés (Barcelona).

The report from the Animal Health Research Centre (CISA-INIA), in Valdeolmos (Madrid), the EU reference laboratory, includes the molecular characterization by sequencing of the genome of the ASF virus and compares them with the different African swine fever viruses detected throughout the European Union.

All viruses currently circulating in the Member States belong to genetic groups 2-28 and not to the new genetic group 29 to which the virus causing the outbreak in the province of Barcelona belongs - very similar to genetic group 1 that circulated in Georgia in 2007.

Viruses, under natural conditions, undergo changes in their genome to varying degrees when they spread through infection cycles in animals. Therefore, the discovery of a virus similar to the one that circulated in Georgia does not rule out the possibility that its origin lies in a biological containment facility.

The “Georgia 2007” virus strain is a “reference” virus that is frequently used in experimental infections in confinement facilities to conduct virus studies or to evaluate the effectiveness of vaccines, which are currently under development.

The report suggests that the virus may not have originated in animals or animal products from any of the countries where the infection is currently present.

Therefore, the Directorate General for Agri-food Production Health and Animal Welfare of the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food has initiated the following actions:
1) Inform the Nature Protection Service (SEPRONA) of the Civil Guard of the need to investigate these events, as the competent authority for the investigation of possible environmental infringements or crimes.
2) Initiate an investigation into the origin of the virus within the framework of Article 57.2 of Regulation (EU) 2016/429 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 2016.[/FONT]

Catalonia on Monday set up a committee that will audit research centers to determine whether the African swine fever (ASF) outbreak may have originated from a laboratory.

The committee will be made up of six biosecurity experts and coordinated by Josep Usall, director of IRTA, the very center now under scrutiny due to the lab-leak hypothesis.

IRTA, located less than one kilometer from where the first two infected wild boars were found, along with other centers that conduct ASF research, will be evaluated to determine "whether there is any potential risk" of a laboratory escape.​..

African swine fever is a disease that does not affect people, either through contact with animals or by ingesting products derived from them.

The Central Veterinary Laboratory in Algete (Madrid) has confirmed 10 more wild boars testing positive for African swine fever (ASF) . These boars were found near previously reported cases in the municipality of Cerdanyola del Vallés (Barcelona). With these new positive results, the disease has now been confirmed in a total of 26 wild animals.

In addition, 208 other animal carcasses found dead in the natural environment or on roads and railways in the infected area and its surroundings have been analyzed, and have yielded negative results.

These findings are the result of intensive fieldwork carried out by the Generalitat's Rural Agents Corps, in collaboration with the Military Emergency Unit (UME) , the Mossos d'Esquadra force, the Nature Protection Service (Seprona) of the Civil Guard and the local police, which includes the search for wild boar carcasses, the monitoring of unauthorized access to the infected area and the disinfection of vehicles and people.

The central and regional administrations remind everyone to maintain a high level of alert, with high biosecurity measures both on farms and in wild boar populations.

More information related to the disease, including its characteristic signs, can be found on the ministry's website at this link .

More information on the disease in wild boars and the protocol for action is also available in the wildlife surveillance guide, at this link .[/FONT]

ASF in Spain: Three new cases confirmed in high-risk area
These are two new secondary outbreaks involving a total of three animals, bringing the total number of positive animals since the outbreak began to 16, all of them within the high-risk zone.
16 December 2025

The Official Veterinary Services (SVO) of the Generalitat de Catalunya have reported the detection of two new secondary outbreaks of African swine fever (ASF) in wild boars, one outbreak with two animals and the other with one animal.

Both are located in the vicinity of the previously reported outbreaks and within the perimeter of the area considered to be at highest risk.

With these two new outbreaks, the number of outbreaks reported to date rises to seven, two of which are primary and the other five secondary, including a total of 16 positive animals. In addition, another 115 animals found dead in the wild or on roads or railways in and around the infected area have been tested and found to be negative.​..

 With the two new cases, the number of wild boars killed by swine fever rises to 29, all in the same area around the first outbreak

The Central Veterinary Laboratory in Algete (Madrid) has confirmed two wild boars found dead within the high-risk zone, a six-kilometer radius from the site of the first outbreak on November 28 in Cendanyola del Vallés (Barcelona), that tested positive for African swine fever (ASF). These two new cases bring the total number of wild boars that have died from the disease to 29.

Similarly, the Algete laboratory has also confirmed an outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza in Bellpuig (Lleida), at a farm with 235,000 laying hens. Official veterinary services are investigating the cause of this outbreak and consider contact with an infected wild bird to be the most likely hypothesis. No cases of this disease had been reported on Spanish poultry farms since October, and since the first case was detected in July, the total number of cases has now reached 15.

The Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food is maintaining the confinement measure for poultry due to the high risk of disease caused by the large number of cases in wild birds in Europe and the intense movement of migratory birds in Spain. Furthermore, an outbreak of Newcastle disease in birds has been declared in the province of Valencia.

The Committee of the Spanish Veterinary Health Alert Network (RASVE) held a meeting today to exchange information and evaluate the measures taken to address animal diseases in Spain over the past two months, particularly African swine fever, contagious nodular dermatosis, and highly pathogenic avian influenza.

Regarding contagious nodular dermatosis, the situation in Spain was reviewed following the declaration of two new outbreaks in France, which now has a total of 115. The activation of its vaccination plan for the border region was also discussed. Furthermore, details of the new vaccination map for Spain, expanded to include new districts in Aragon, Navarre, and the Basque Country bordering France, were debated. This expansion was decided at the RASVE committee meeting held on the 17th. Since October 24th, no new cases of this disease have been detected in Spain; the 17 outbreaks were all located in the province of Girona.[/FONT]

"A positive case detected in the wild in Barcelona": African swine fever is gaining ground in Spain

This viral hemorrhagic disease, harmless to humans but with a mortality rate close to 100% for pigs and wild boars, has gained ground in the region in recent weeks.

Published on 11/03/2026 at 18:41

A new case of African swine fever (ASF) has been detected near Barcelona, ​​Catalan authorities announced Wednesday, further extending the radius of the risk zone to include some wooded areas of the regional capital.

"We have detected a positive case in the natural environment in Barcelona," announced Òscar Ordeig , the Catalan regional government's Agriculture Minister, on the social network X , indicating that the Collserola Natural Park would therefore be closed to the public.

In recent weeks, African swine fever (ASF), a viral hemorrhagic disease harmless to humans but with a mortality rate close to 100% for pigs and wild boars, has gained ground in the region, in wooded areas, spreading around the initial outbreak detected in November.

This first outbreak of the virus in Spain since 1994 killed dozens of wild boars. No cases were reported in pig farms. However, since then, authorities have continuously expanded the "risk zone," within which several dozen cases of dead wild boars infected with African swine fever have been found.

Barcelona is now in the "low risk" zone, according to an updated map on the Catalan regional government website. The origin of the outbreak remains unknown at the moment, but a judicial investigation has been opened.

The outbreak of African swine fever (ASF) in Catalonia has caused great concern within Spain's powerful pork industry, the world's third-largest producer of pork and pork products. Spain exports nearly three million tons of pork annually to around one hundred countries worldwide.

UPDATE ON THE AFRICAN SWINE FEVER SITUATION
IN WILD BOAR IN CATALONIA

March 12, 2026

Since the last update on the African Swine Fever (ASF) situation sent on March 5, 2026, the Official Veterinary Services (SVO) of the Government of Catalonia have reported the detection of a new outbreak in wild boar. This involves a total of 11 cases in wild boar found dead or with remains found in the wild in municipalities included in Restricted Zone II.

With these, the number of reported outbreaks to date rises to 38, 3 of them primary and 35 secondary (see map 1), which would give a total of 227 positive cases/wild boars in 9 municipalities: Cerdanyola del Vallès, Sant Cugat del Vallès, Sant Quirze del Vallès, Terrassa, Rubí, Molins de Rei, Sant Feliu de Llobregat, Sant Just Desvern, and Barcelona, ​​with a case detected for the first time in the latter municipality (see map 2).

In addition, another 1,971 animals have been analyzed and have tested negative, of which 1,408 correspond to animals captured or killed without showing clinical symptoms and 563 have been investigated by passive surveillance (whole carcasses or remains found in the natural environment or animals with symptoms killed) in the infected area and its surroundings (see maps 1 and 2).

Planas on the origin of ASF: “I hope and wish that one day it will be known, but at the moment the priority is eradication.”

The Minister of Agriculture appeared on Catalan television, where he was questioned about the situation of African swine fever in the region.

Jorge Jiménez - 03-24-2026 - 09:58 H - 3 min.

This Tuesday, March 24, the Minister of Agriculture, Luis Planas , participated in the morning program of TV3 in Catalonia, where he was asked about the current situation of African swine fever ( ASF ) and whether he sees it as feasible that the region will be declared free of the disease in 14 months.

“I don’t have a crystal ball, but we have acted with complete transparency ,” Planas declared, asserting that the Catalan government “has done what it had to do,” and emphasizing the support of the Spanish government, and in particular the Ministry of Agriculture. “We have been perfectly coordinated ,” he affirmed.

Planas also pointed out that very strict control measures have been implemented since the outbreak began. “The problem is rooted in wild boars, but not a single pig farm has had a case , which is very important,” he emphasized.

On the other hand, the minister explained that the current priority is "creating a sanitary vacuum and eradicating" the wild boar population. "Once we stop having positive cases, the World Organisation for Animal Health indicates a 12-month waiting period before we can be declared free of the pest again," he noted.

“Undoubtedly, the fact that we are not free of ASF is bad news, but thanks to the prestige, the seriousness, and the rigor with which we apply animal health regulations, we have managed to maintain 82% of certificates and 80% of the volume of pork sector exports assured,” he stressed, pointing out that a country that did not provide guarantees could be down to 40% of its exports.

Finally, Planas was asked about the unknown origin of the African swine fever (ASF) outbreak in Catalonia. In this regard, the Minister of Agriculture recalled that the Ministry's expert report , which pointed to several possible origins, was recently published.

Furthermore, he emphasized that a judicial investigation is currently underway. “I hope and wish that one day the truth will come out , but let me be very clear: right now, the priority is eradication,” he concluded.
