Spain has declared a state of emergency over an outbreak of African swine fever – a viral infection that causes the animals to bleed internally. At least 13 wild boars have tested positive for the virus in fields outside Barcelona, Catalonia, since November. The highly contagious illness, which is not fatal to humans but can be spread by us, has no known vaccine or cure. The Catalan government declared a state of emergency today over fears that infected wild boars could escape the 6km-wide contamination zone. #spain #catalunya #españa🇪🇸 #news #worldnews
