Swine fever is a significant issue in Europe, leading Italy to implement a comprehensive plan to combat its spread, as noted by Minister Francesco Lollobrigida. Developed by Commissioner Filippini and praised by the European Commission, the plan focuses on containing outbreaks spread by ungulates and humans. Measures include closing red zones and planning interventions in buffer zones. Italy's success in eradicating swine fever in Sardinia after thirty years provides hope. The strategy also involves regionalization for safe exports and identifying products that can transmit the disease, with certain processed items like raw ham deemed safe after extensive salting.
