The EAPHM Board is wishing you and your loved ones a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. 2020 will go into history as a remarkable year.

EAPHM held a webinar with Vittorio Guberti presenting on what we have learnt in the past 10 years about ASF and Andrea Palzer presenting on the current situation in Germany

The European Commission has declared Belgium formally free from African Swine Fever (ASF). This means that the country will regain its free from ASF status.

The count of wild boar with African Swine Fever in Germany has risen to 53 - this includes a 2nd case in the northern area in Märkisch-Oderland district and 2 more #ASF infected carcasses in the southern zone. The boar in the northern zone had been dead for 4 weeks already.

The five news cases were found in dead wild boar close to the first case, Brandenburg state health minister Ursula Nonnemacher told a committee of the state’s parliament, Reuters reports. Initial tests were positive and tests are underway to confirm the additional cases at Germany’s Friedrich-Loeffler scientific institute, she told the meeting.
