The disease, harmless to humans but highly contagious among pigs, was found in a dead wild boar in a forest in the Serres region, which borders Bulgaria and North Macedonia, WOAH said, citing a report from the Greek authorities.
WOAH said the case was the first since early 2020, when Greece faced its first-ever outbreak of African swine fever.
“In Europe, the disease has spread from the east of the continent to reach countries including Germany and Italy”
