In connection with the total mortality of cattle in the Philippine open spaces, the leading specialists in veterinary medicine, animal husbandry and sanitary control were selected to create an expert group to investigate the situation.
These data were shared with the general public by William Dar, the head of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of the Philippines.
In addition, the minister stressed that at the moment, the country's experienced virologists are studying the biomaterial of dead animals - tissues and blood - in order to identify the type of infectious pathogen.
At the moment, the names of settlements and areas in which livestock losses have occurred as a result of exposure to an unidentified virus are not specified. However, William Dar hastened to assure the audience that as soon as the results of the virological studies are ready, the cause of the death of the pigs will be made public with all the details and details.
It is noteworthy that no data were reported on whether the African swine fever virus was detected in the Philippines.
