Upon arrival at the site, specialists from the SSUFSCP and the Ternopil Regional State Laboratory inspected the area and discovered that the number of dead animals was higher than initially reported. Instead of three, seven carcasses were found, including four piglets. All carcasses were collected for veterinary disposal.
Pathological samples were urgently sent to the Ivano-Frankivsk Regional State Laboratory of the SSUFSCP. Laboratory test N002423 p.m./25 dated 15.11.2025 confirmed the presence of the African swine fever virus.
After the diagnosis was confirmed, all carcasses were burned and buried in accordance with veterinary and sanitary requirements, and the area was thoroughly disinfected using products recommended for ASF virus inactivation.
A full set of primary anti-epizootic measures was carried out at the site to prevent further spread of the virus beyond the outbreak zone. Specialists emphasize that wild boar deaths in natural habitats are one of the most dangerous mechanisms for the circulation of ASF, as infected carcasses can pose a long-term threat to pig farms.
The situation remains under enhanced control by the SSUFSCP. Specialists continue to inspect surrounding areas and monitor wildlife to prevent further spread of the virus.
