Several cases of Classical Swine Fever (CSF) have been
registered in the villages of Jara and Biograci in the Bosnian region of Siroki
Brijeg.
This news was broadcasted on the Bosnian public broadcaster BHTV1 last
week.
According to the region's
veterinary station, there is no CSF epidemic, with just fifteen pigs
having been culled on a preventative basis.
Speculation
However, there is speculation that
this is not an isolated case and that around 30 pigs purchased from
Bijeljina-based buyers have died in the region, BBC Monitoring European
reports.
The disease has been showing up at several places at the
Balkan region, especially in Croatia.
