The latest updates
The numbers that concern the African swine fever unfortunately they don't stop. In the last few hours, a sort of psychological threshold has been exceeded, namely over 1200 PSA positive cases. The 1207 infections (this is the precise figure) are the result of another 25 positive cases compared to previous updates.
The positives in detail
Going into more detail, we are talking about 15 cases of swine fever in Liguria (one of the most decimated regions in this sense, with the total exceeding 600 cases) and nine in Piedmont (here the total is equal to 568). The fifteen new Ligurian cases were detected in the province of Genoa: one in Arenzano (five cases since the beginning of the emergency), three in Borzonasca (twenty-seven), one in Davagna (thirteen), one in Fontanigorda (twenty-three), five in Genoa (seventy-two) , one in Montebruno (nine), one in Montoggio (twenty-one), one in Rezzoaglio (four), one in Rovegno (forty-five).
Yet another municipality to add
The nine new Piedmontese cases have been confirmed: one for the first time in the province of Asti in Mombaruzzo (first case in the Municipality); eight in the province of Alessandria: one in Albera Ligure (four), two in Castellania (three), one in Francavilla Bisio (eight), two in Rocchetta Ligure (three), one in Sant'Agata Fossili (nine), one in Stazzano (six). With the Asti case of Mombaruzzo, the number of municipalities in which at least one positive case of African Swine Fever has been observed rises to 128 (Experimental Zooprophylactic Institute of Piedmont, Liguria and Valle d'Aosta).
