Bulgaria has seen a low but significant number of African swine fever (ASF) outbreaks in domestic pigs, alongside a higher incidence in wild pigs, leading to a medium to high risk of virus transmission to domestic pigs, according to the Center for Food Chain Risk Assessment. In the first half of 2024, 451 ASF cases were confirmed in wild pigs across 21 districts. The largest number of wild boars is found in the Sofia Region, Smolyan, Blagoevgrad, Haskovo, Plovdiv, and Kardjali districts, which also have a high number of ASF cases. The national plan to control ASF includes shooting wild pigs to reduce density, a measure last implemented in 2021. The decision to reduce the wild boar population again will depend on the spread of the disease. The European Animal Disease and Risk Assessment Network (EADN) reports that ASF continues to spread in the wild boar population across Europe, with Romania reporting the highest number of cases. To prevent the virus from spreading to domestic pigs, farms should maintain biosecurity and monitor the wild population.
