In Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, African swine fever has been detected for the first time in the wild boar population. The wild boar was hunted in Marnitz in the Ludwigslust-Parchim district near the freeway in an area previously free of ASF.
An initial analysis by the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern State Office for Agriculture, Food Safety and Fisheries detected a high ASF viral load on Wednesday afternoon, which was confirmed by the Friedrich Loeffler Institute in the evening.
