A year of swine fever defense: Primaveraland has so far been protected!
In Primaveraland, a lot is happening in combating the African swine plague (ASP). For almost a year, local authorities and foresters have been working intensively to keep this dangerous animal disease away. As reports Primavera24, the previous measures show. During the Pentecost days, dog relays could search the border region between Großostheim and Groß-Umstadt without infected wild boar cadavians being discovered. This gives rise to hope and confirms the effectiveness of the steps taken.
In the prima rand, a provisional game fence on the B469 and another fence west along the B45 have been installed, behind which the actual ASP area begins. These preventive measures are still supplemented by controls and the setting up of restricted areas. However, those responsible persuaded to negligence, because the swine fever can be threatening to exist for the owner of domestic pigs.
important knowledge about the African swine fever
The ASP virus is a highly contagious infection that affects both wild and domestic pigs and in most cases leads to death. The likelihood of an outbreak is particularly high in the eastern neighboring countries, which significantly increases the risk of introducing Germany. Friedrich-Loeffler-Institut emphasizes that since the first reports of the ASP in Georgia, the disease has occurred across numerous countries. Since 2014, the ASP has also reached EU member states that are particularly susceptible.
The risk of transmission through direct contact with infected animals or their carcass still remains high. If the transmission is suspected, strict hygiene and bios safety measures in pig farming are essential. The Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture (BMEL) also indicates that the virus can remain infectious in dead animals for several weeks to months-this makes monitoring and combating all the more decisive.
The location in the Offenbach district
Fortunately, the district of Offenbach has so far been spared from the ASP, while in daily monitoring south and west of Darmstadt, infected cadavers are found. In order to ensure that the plague does not enter our regions in the future, the authorities rely on close cooperation with farmers and hunters who are particularly challenged. Management of wild boar population is still an urgent task to effectively combat the ASP.One thing is certain: the fight against African swine fever is not a sprint, but a marathon. But with united forces and the necessary vigilance, the chances are good to continue to successfully keep the disease away from the prima -chance.
