Spanish police raided the IRTA-CReSA laboratory in Cerdanyola del Vallès as part of an investigation into a recent outbreak of African swine fever. The laboratory is being scrutinized for potential environmental crimes linked to the outbreak, which has resulted in 26 wild boar deaths and restrictions in parts of Barcelona. Genetic analysis shows the virus resembles a strain used in research, raising concerns about the laboratory's role in the outbreak. An independent audit has been commissioned by the Catalan government, and the investigation is ongoing. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
