The appearance of ASF in the Czech Republic - more than 400-km jump of the virus to the West. To the border with Germany remained 300 kilometers, and the Austrian territory is only 80.

African swine fever is moving closer to Germany. After the appearance of the disease in wild pigs in the Czech Republic, the German Institute of Friedrich Leffler has adjusted the assessment of the risks of introduction of disease. The risk of getting the virus to Germany by illegal transport or disposal of contaminated products rated as "high". The risks of migration with hunting trophies and due to direct contact of the infected wild boar are defined as "modest".

The ASF virus is circulating among wild and domestic pigs in the Baltic States, Ukraine, Poland and Russia. At the end of June was discovered 25 dead from the disease of wild boars already in Eastern Bohemia, but the density of wild boar in Central Europe and the countries of Western Europe, including the Czech Republic, significantly higher than in the Baltic States. This may significantly speed up the spread of ASF in Europe. In addition, in many regions of Germany and Europe already the hunters are too busy to keep growing the number of wild boars under control.

 

"None of the countries have not yet been able to organize a successful fight against the virus in wild boars," - said the President of the Institute for Thomas Mettenleiter. "Against African swine fever is still no vaccine. In addition, to control the disease by intensive hunting still fails".

Veterinarians prizivaut to increase vigilance. About found dead wild boars should be reported to the appropriate authorities. Farmers should ensure the impossibility of contact between domestic pigs with wild. Feeding pigs waste in Germany is prohibited, but monitoring is extremely difficult, and contact with infected products in the diet of Pets is one of the most likely scenarios for the spread of ASF in Europe.

In Germany farm contains about 27 million pigs. On average, every German consumes over 36 kilograms of pork. The outbreak in Germany would inevitably lead to trade restrictions by the EU, which would cause serious consequences for the country's economy, which is one of the world's largest pork producer - 5 530 000 tons in 2016.
