Kirov region: ASF quarantine introduced in the southwest

it is interesting to note that the causative agent of African swine fever can spread over long distances. In this case, the virus apparently came from Mari El, a neighboring republic. Recent cases of detection of infected wild boars in hunting areas highlight the importance of control of the condition of wild animals and regular monitoring of their HEALTH.

To combat the spread of African swine fever, not only quarantine measures are needed, but also strict sanitary standards, training of personnel on infection prevention, as well as information campaigns for farmers and hunters on methods to prevent infection of animals.

It is important to remember that African swine fever is not dangerous to humans, but can cause significant damage to pig production. Therefore, timely measures to prevent and control it play a decisive role in ensuring animal safety and food security in the region.
