Thus far 70 wild boars have tested positive for African swine fever, Wallonia’s Minister of Agriculture, René Collin, said on Tuesday after receiving a report on the latest tests from the region’s Wildlife Health Monitoring Network. Minister Collin said 126 boars had been tested, including 99 found in the 63,000-hectare security perimeter. “Among them, 70 tested positive for the virus,” the regional minister said.
