The national reference laboratory for ASF in Germany, the Friedrich-Loeffler Institute, has confirmed the disease in a wild boar hunted in Bleyen in the Märkisch-Oderlan district near the Polish border and outside the previously defined danger zone.
The new outbreak is located about 60 km straight north of the previously defined core zone in the districts of Oder-Spree, Spree-Neisse and Dahme-Spreewald in Brandenburg.
The state of Brandenburg will now have to adapt the existing protection zones.
The construction of the mobile protective fence around the core area is scheduled to start today, Wednesday. Agricultural activities are prohibited in the core zone with a radius of 4 km and in the danger zone with a radius of 15 km.
This confirmation makes 38 cases of ASF in wild boar in Germany.
