Advancements in Contending African Swine Fever

In the heart of Wiesbaden, a protective corridor known as the 'White Zone' has been established. This zone, visible through new fences, surrounds the core areas of the ASP (African Swine Fever) and is intended to contain the spread of the disease.

The 'White Zone' consists of two solid fences and is intensively searched for wild boars. To aid in this effort, additional easements have been introduced for agriculture and hunting within the zone.

The completion of the fencing around the ASP core areas is scheduled for early October. In addition, intensive wild boar hunting is planned within the white zone to help manage the wild boar population and reduce the risk of African Swine Fever spread.

Hunters can expect further hunting easements in the white zone, but dog owners should be aware that their pets must be kept on a leash within the Schiersteiner Aue in the White Zone. This measure is in place to ensure the safety of both the animals and the public.

Citizens can direct questions to the responsible department or office regarding the White Zone. The Press Office of the State Capital Wiesbaden, located at Schlossplatz 6, 65183 Wiesbaden, is the publisher of this press release. For more information, visit www.wiesbaden.de/pressereferat.

Furthermore, increased drone flights are expected within the white zone as part of the ongoing efforts to monitor and manage the African Swine Fever situation.

The exact completion date for the establishment of the 'White Zone' in Wiesbaden is not provided in the available search results. The public is encouraged to stay informed and follow any updates or guidelines issued by the relevant authorities.
