The wild boar which was found dead at the border with Romania, in the region of the village of Kainardzha near Silistra, have tested positive for African swine Fever virus, Bulgaria’s Food Safery Agency said on 24th of October, reports BNT.
Clinical examinations of domestic animals begin in order to limit the spread of the virus. Hunting groups will search the risky areas for sick or dead wild pigs.
