Why ASF cadaver trials?

In the event of an outbreak of African swine fever (ASF), the search for wild boars that have died from the disease is an important part of animal disease control. There is a lot of infectious virus material in the carcasses and their surroundings, which can infect other wild boars and spread the disease. The carcasses of dead wild boars must therefore be found and disposed of as quickly as possible. The cadaver tests with specially trained human-dog teams have proven very effective. For this purpose, emergency services such as cadaver search teams, managers and drone teams are trained at the TCRH Mosbach on behalf of the MLR Baden-Württemberg.

Domestic pig population in the Emmendingen district affected - no infected wild boars have been found yet

On May 25, 2022, the African swine fever virus (ASF) was detected in dead pigs from a fattening pig farm.

At the moment, no dead wild boars have been found in the area around the farm. Research into the origin of the pathogen is in full swing.
