The wild boar must be submitted for sampling for African swine fever to the Norwegian Veterinary Institute (SVA). Recently, a dead wild boar was found outside Fagersta in Västmanland with the disease.
— Samples are sent in the monitoring and it has been done even before this case in Västmanland. But now we are extra careful to sample found pigs of course, says county veterinarian Karin Reine.
Dead wild boars are found quite often, she emphasizes.
