The Office of the Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Surveillance in the Republic of Mordovia and the Penza Region has registered African swine fever (ASF) in the livestock of personal subsidiary farms in the Nizhny Novgorod Region. The disease was confirmed in two pigs on July 5, and genetic material of the virus was identified in a dead pig on July 8. In response, an Extraordinary Anti-Epizootic Commission was convened to prevent the introduction and spread of ASF. Measures include round-the-clock inspection of vehicles in the border area to prevent the transportation of goods that have not undergone veterinary supervision.
