Bulgaria: African Swine Fever Update

As of early December 2019, Bulgaria reported 41 African swine fever (ASF) cases in domestic hogs and 134 cases in wild boars. The last detection in domestic pigs was reported on October 23. Currently, ASF is present in all regions of the country and detections in wild boars continue. Bio-safety, especially on small-holder farms, along with new policies for hunting, are the main focuses of Bulgarian veterinary authorities. Funding shortfalls for laboratory diagnostics and insufficient staffing of field veterinary professionals remain as key challenges.
