There have been 42 outbreaks of African swine fever in pigs in Poland in 2024.

The 44th outbreak of ASF in domestic pigs in Poland in 2024 is located in the west of the country.

Two regions of the country stand out in terms of the number of recorded outbreaks.

By the end of June 2024, 12 outbreaks of ASF in pigs had been confirmed.

Since the beginning of 2023, 2347 cases of African swine fever have been confirmed in wild boars in Poland.

The disease was detected on small farms.

The outbreaks were reported near areas where African swine fever (ASF) had previously occurred.

The fourth and ninth outbreaks were within a few hundred meters of each other in eastern Poland, while the tenth was in the western part of the country.

Last week, three more outbreaks of African swine fever were reported on farms in eastern Poland.

The eighth outbreak this year was reported about 10 km from the border with Germany, in northwestern Poland.

This last year saw the most outbreaks in pigs since 2018.

African swine fever has been detected in a voivodeship where the disease had not been diagnosed this year.

As of October 18, the disease has been found on as many as 112 swine farms.

The greatest number of outbreaks were reported in Subcarpathian Voivodeship, near Mielec.
