Brandenburg Health Minister Ursula Nonnemacher (Greens) has expressed concern about the discovery of a dead wild boar infected with African swine fever near the state border in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.

Only around three kilometers from the Prignitz district, but above all around 200 kilometers from the border with Poland, she is very worried, she said on Thursday.

Schwerin / Potsdam - For a good year now, consistent and large-scale measures such as building fences, hunting for fallen game and taking wild boar in the Brandenburg districts along the border have been fighting the unabated pressure of epidemics from Poland, Nonnemacher continued.

"Now it is a matter of quickly determining the cause and the extent of the outbreak in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania." An intensive search for fallen game has now begun in the Prignitz district.

After the first case of African swine fever in a wild boar in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, the authorities are pulling a protective fence within a three-kilometer radius of the site near Marnitz (Ludwigslust-Parchim district).

All wild boars are to be killed and disposed of within the fence, announced Till Backhaus (SPD), Minister of Agriculture in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.
