ASF Germany: First confirmed case in the district of Dahme-Spreewald

The National Reference Laboratory, the Friedrich Loeffler Institute, detected ASF for the first time in the district of Dahme-Spreewald in a wild boar.

Following confirmed outbreaks of African swine fever (ASF) in wild boar in neighboring districts, the National Reference Laboratory, the Friedrich Loeffler Institute (FLI), has now also detected ASF in a wild boar in the district of Dahme-Spreewald for the first time.

The location of the carcass is within the already defined core area 3, which includes parts of the Oder-Spree and Dahme-Spreewald districts (about 2,100 hectares). The infected carcass is from a wild boar found northeast of Trebitz (Lieberose), in the immediate vicinity of the Oder-Spree district border.

Given that the new finding is within the existing core area, modifying the restriction zones already established in the Dahme-Spreewald district is not necessary.

In Brandenburg, ASF has been detected in a total of 668 wild boars (as of February 19, 2021):

District of Spree-Neiße: 50
District of Oder-Spree: 406
District of Märkisch-Oderland: 211
District of Dahme-Spreewald: 1
