Nébih has expanded its infected area due to swine fever

African swine fever (ASP) was confirmed by the laboratory of the National Food Chain Safety Authority (Nebih) in the immediate vicinity of the previously infected Pest County closed wildlife park. The virus was detected by the authority from two dead wild boars.

In a news release on Friday, Nébih recalled that in the past, infected animals had only been found in a closed wildlife park in Pest County, where the virus was thought to have been transmitted by humans. (MTI)
