The public prosecutor in Pavia province, northern Italy, has opened an investigation to a vet and a pig producer. Both are thought to be involved in the spread of the recent wave of African Swine Fever (ASF) outbreaks on farms in Northern Italy, news outlet RAI Uno reported.

African Swine Fever (ASF) continues to claim victims on pig farms in northern Italy. Only in the northern regions this year, so far 23 pig farms have been infected in 2024, leading to the culling of tens of thousands of pigs.
