A month-long campaign to combat African swine fever and herpes simplex virus (HSV) has begun in the Ulyanovsk region.

During the month, specialists focus on a comprehensive survey of hunting grounds, forests, and fields. Veterinary services conduct regular field visits to wild boar and migratory bird habitats, which are the main carriers of diseases. Searching for animal carcasses is crucial, as they can be a source of infection. Effective and timely detection of cases of infection is critical, as wild animals can transmit viruses to domestic animals, which in turn can negatively impact agricultural production.

During inspections, veterinarians focus on areas where wild animals congregate and their migration routes. They use a variety of methods, from visual inspection to laboratory testing. In the event of suspicious cases, they are referred to laboratories for analysis, allowing for a rapid response to potential threats.

In addition to screenings, an important aspect of the month is informing the public about safety measures. Residents of the region are reminded to prevent contact between pets and wild animals. Following simple rules, such as vaccinations and regular HEALTH checks, can significantly reduce the risk of infection.

The " ASF and HSV-Free Month" campaign represents an important step in combating the spread of dangerous diseases and contributes to the creation of safer conditions for agricultural development and the protection of the region's ecosystem. Timely detection and prevention of threats will help preserve the health of both domestic and wild animals and ensure food security in the region.
