Catalonia says most wild boars killed in Collserola are negative in the African swine epidemic

Counselor Ordeig said he's "almost certain" that the disease has entered through the human factor through the AP-7 or other means of communication. "We'll know in the next few days; it hasn't entered through an infected boar, it's been a human factor," he added.

The Councillor for Climate Action, Food and Rural Agenda of the Generalitat de Catalunya, Oscar Ordeig, said on Thursday that "the vast majority" of the 50 wild boars found dead in the Collserola area of Barcelona have produced a negative result in swine plague disease.

In an interview at La 2 Cat, he explained that he is "almost certain" that the disease has entered because of the human factor, be it the AP-7 or other means of communication. "We will know in the next few days; it has not entered through an infected boar, it has been a human factor," he added.



The Councillor recalled that the outbreak had been warned that it could be an indicator of the risk of the outbreak of the swine epidemic in Spain, as in the countries of Eastern Europe  the disease is' endemic and therefore out of control '.
