An emergency without end
La African swine fever Unfortunately it doesn't seem to have borders as far as our country is concerned. A new province must be added to the list of Italian ones in which at least one case of this pathology which has been around for too long has been recorded. This is the one in Parma, where a wild boar was found dead and later tested positive for PSA.
In-depth exams
The discovery was made by a hunter, to be precise in the Tornolo area, not far from the border with Liguria. As per practice, the carcass was then reported to the AUSL of Parma and then examined by the Experimental Zooprophylactic Institute of Lombardy and Emilia-Romagna.
The precedent of Piacenza
A second anatomical-pathological examination did nothing but confirm the wild animal's positivity to swine fever. The Parma area joins the province of Piacenza, where the virus was recorded last November: the proximity to Liguria, an area where cases of infections are among the most numerous in Italy, is a detail that can't help but make you think.
