An outbreak of Aujeszky's disease was detected in a pig farm in Tarn-et-Garonne. This viral disease can affect pigs and wild boars, and accidentally carnivores, such as dogs, cats, cattle, goats, sheep and horses.
It is mainly transmitted directly during close contact between infected animals, as well as indirectly, between farms via contaminated equipment. The prefecture stressed that the disease “is not transmissible to humans” and that “the consumption of pork presents no risk to human”
