50 wild boars have been found dead in Catalonia, in the area affected by the swine plague
The Ministry of Agriculture will examine the bodies to determine if they are contaminated.
Agents tracking ground zero of the outbreak.
The rural agents of the Generalitat who are tracing the area of Collserola (Barcelona) in Catalonia, where the African swine plague has appeared,have found about 50 wild boars dead.
The head of rural agents, Josep Antoni Mur, told TV3 that all the positives confirmed so far were found in the same area, between Sant Cugat del Vallès and Cerdanyola (Barcelona).
On the other hand, Mur has stated that they are 'ready' tobegin the capture and slaughter of animals following recommendations from the Ministry of Agriculture and the European Commission, but has denied that they have started to do so.
"We are ready, we have ready routes and we have ready mass capture systems, but we need to determine where we can use them and what methods of sacrifice we can use," he said.
Rural agents, supported by the Military Emergency Unit (EMU), continue to search the area about 6 kilometres to locate the animals and locate those who may be dead.
