Overview
- All confirmed infections are confined to a six‑kilometre perimeter near Cerdanyola, and most of the roughly 50 wild‑boar carcasses found in Collserola have tested negative.
- No cases have been detected in the 39 pig farms under surveillance in the area, with ongoing sampling and reinforced biosecurity checks.
- Roughly 1,000 personnel from regional agents, the UME, Mossos, Guardia Civil and local services are enforcing closures, removing carcasses and disinfecting access points.
- Producers and packers led by Mercolleida urge culling of all boar within 20 kilometres and emptying fattening farms, as prices fall and slaughterhouses report tight freezing capacity.
- Export rules vary by market, with the UK applying EU‑style regionalization, China restricting only Barcelona province, the Philippines barring Spanish pork, and Mexico suspending imports as Spain steps up diplomatic efforts.
