For more than seven months, no further cases of African swine fever (ASF) have been detected in dead wild boar in the Gro\u00df-Gerau district. Case numbers had already been declining significantly. The district considers this development an important success of the coordinated disease control efforts. First District Councilor Adil Oyan speaks of an encouraging sign and emphasizes the close cooperation of numerous stakeholders. A broad network of emergency services is involved in the control efforts, including hunters, HessenForst (the Hessian state forestry agency), trainers and examiners of cadaver detection dogs, search teams with drones and detection dogs, municipal recovery teams, operators of carcass collection points, fence maintenance companies, disaster relief agencies, fire departments, and other aid organizations. Support is also provided by the Darmstadt Regional Council, the Hessian Ministry of Agriculture and the Environment, and the district administration. Two training courses for cadaver detection dog teams have been completed in the district. Drone surveys are conducted every four weeks, and sniffer dogs are deployed weekly and as needed. According to the district, the area outside of built-up areas has been almost completely searched. The role of hunters and fencing measures: Intensive hunting remains a key factor. The wild boar population has been significantly reduced. Furthermore, hunters provide important information about wildlife movements and support containment efforts by not processing hunted wild boar. Protective measures along the fence lines have also been continuously adapted. The district urges residents to keep installed gates closed. Fence damage can be reported via the district's website: African Swine Fever. Perspective: Lifting the core zone under review. In light of the current situation, a large-scale lifting of the core zone is being considered. Preparations are also underway for a possible downgrade to restricted zone I, provided no further positive ASF cases occur by autumn. The district emphasizes that African Swine Fever continues to require the highest level of attention. The goal remains to permanently eradicate the disease from the district.
