Most of the animals found in the territory South of the Belgian province of Luxembourg, however, the virus took a step and into Belgium: two cases were discovered approximately 3.5 km to the North from the last known focus of the ASF. In addition, local media have reported a positive case of African swine fever detected in wild boar at a distance of about two km from the French border.

Meanwhile, Belgian authorities in the province of Luxembourg arrested two people in connection with outbreaks of disease. The arrest followed the interrogation of the four suspects last Wednesday. It was confirmed that the one questioned is a Forester working in the public service of Wallonia (SPW). According to media reports, the man was working in the Walloon Department of nature and forests (DNF).

There is a suspicion that those arrested were taken into custody on suspicion of smuggling ASF infected wild boar in Belgium from Eastern Europe - maybe even in the spring of 2018. In addition, they can impute that they are not reported the detection of the virus in the meat by the due date.

The idea of transport of a wild boar with ASF is not new, in October last year, has already appeared speculation about why the ASF virus was discovered in the South of Belgium: the boar would be transported to southern Belgium to become a hunting trophy for wealthy Belgians who love to hunt in local dense forests.
