Overview
- Officials report 27 infected wild boar confirmed by the Algete reference lab, all found within the six‑kilometer high‑risk area near Collserola.
- No infections have been detected in the 55 pig farms inside the 20‑kilometer control ring, with 432 wild boar captured and about 6% testing positive over 26 days.
- The 20‑kilometer restriction zone was adjusted to include Begues, Gavà, Olesa de Bonesvalls and Subirats, and forest access closures remain in place across 91 municipalities.
- An independent audit judged IRTA‑CReSA’s BSL‑3 systems adequate with no evidence of a leak, while police inquiries and genetic sequencing comparisons continue.
- Trade has largely stabilized under regionalization, with 78% of export markets reopened and Japan accepting Spanish pork produced before October 29, as researchers also flag risks from illegally imported pork products carrying inactive ASF genetic material.
