Nébih: No swine fever virus has been detected in Hungary so far

The presence of the virus of the African swine fever (ASP) has not been detected so far in Hungary – the National Food Chain Safety Office (Nébih) confirmed it to MTI on Tuesday.

The Hungarian Veterinary Authority has already introduced a number of measures in order to prevent the introduction of the virus into the territory of the country and to detect it as soon as possible.

The tests at Nébih’s laboratory are ongoing. Over a year, more than 10,000 pigs (domestic swine and wild boar) were tested, of which over three thousand samples came from Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg County. The presence of the ASP virus has not been detected in any of the cases – Nébih told MTI. (MTI)
