In early June 2018, African Swine Fever (ASF) was detected in the samples collected from smallholder swine farms in several villages in a part of the country that had not previously been infected with ASF.
Bulgaria has declared a state of emergency in two districts upon the detection of another African swine fever (ASF) outbreak at a large breeding farm near the northeastern city of Ruse.
Scientists have already warned that climate change likely will impact the food we grow.
But new research is showing that climate change is expected to accelerate rates of crop loss due to the activity of insects.
