ASF Outbreak Response Underway in Romanian Village A man is currently engaged in the handling of deceased pigs following an outbreak of African swine fever (ASF) in the Tufesti village of southern Romania. The incident occurred on August 9, 2018, and represents a continued expansion of the disease’s reach within the country. The National Sanitary, Veterinary and Food Safety Agency (ANSVSA) has initiated an investigation into the ASF outbreak, confirming that 547 cases have been identified across the 98 region of Romania. Preliminary estimates indicate that approximately 50,000 animals have been euthanized as a result of the disease. The man involved is wearing protective clothing as part of standard operating procedures. However, a photograph taken at the scene shows him working with his bare hands, raising concerns about potential contamination. Researchers are actively studying the spread of ASF, with a recent study in France highlighting the complex pathways through which the disease can propagate between pig farms and surrounding areas. The investigation aims to understand how ASF moves and to identify potential routes of transmission. The focus remains on managing the impact on livestock and preventing further spread of the swine disease.
