A report from Russia's veterinary authorities warns that African swine fever in Ukraine could spread to Romania and Moldova. The Russian Federal First Deputy Agriculture Minister Dzhambulat Khatuov said that the control measures in several of the regions were not sufficiently streamlined in the way the animals were registered and there were concerns over the controls over the movement of animals and animal products and the way the processing and slaughter plants were registered. The report says the disease could cross the border due to an increasing number of uncontrolled cases among domestic pigs and lack of effective monitoring in the wild, which is compounding the problem. According to a statement by Ukraine's Veterinary Service, there are currently more than 100 infected animals at three farms in Ukraine.
