– A highly contagious strain of African swine fever has infected at least 94 wild boars in eastern Germany, the country’s agriculture ministry said on Tuesday. The new cases bring the total number of confirmed cases since the first one on Sept. 10 to 94, Reuters reports. All were in wild animals with no farm pigs affected. China and other Asian pork buyers banned imports of German pork in September after the first case was confirmed, causing Chinese pork prices to surge and German prices to fall. But German pig prices have stabilized with rising sales of German pork to other EU countries and in turn raising exports to Asia.
