African swine fever: disease spreading slowly in EU
EFSA has published its latest update on the presence of African swine fever in the EU. During the period covered by the report – November 2018 to October 2019 – Czechia became officially ASF-free. The disease was, however, confirmed in Slovakia, meaning there are nine affected countries in the EU.
