African swine fever cases detected in Italy.

Lombard exponents assure more controls in the logistics chain related to pig handling in relation to swine fever infections detected in the region. Maximum attention is being paid to contain the spread of a disease that is not dangerous to humans but, if out of control, would have devastating effects on the Lombardy pig supply chain. One of the key elements is the containment of the wild boar population which is the main vehicle for transmission of the virus.
