BULGARIA - Although no new outbreaks of Classical Swine Fever (CSF) have been reported in the country, the Bulgarian veterinary authorities, along with the OIE (World Organisation for Animal Health), continue to monitor the disease.

The Bulgarian veterinary authorities sent Follow-up Report No. 5 to the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) on 25 November.

It has been concluded that the outbreak occured through two means, the first being contact with infected animal(s) at grazing or watering. The second source is through contact with wild animal species.
