Molins de Rei

Molins de Rei is a town located in Catalonia, Spain. Recent news highlights its involvement in the ongoing efforts to manage the spread of African swine fever (ASF). The disease, detected in wild boars in Cerdanyola del Vallès 115 days prior to the news report, has since spread to several municipalities, including Molins de Rei. The Departament d’Agricultura has reported numerous cases across the affected areas, prompting calls for increased culling of wild boars to control the outbreak. The presence of ASF in Molins de Rei, along with other nearby towns like Sant Feliu de Llobregat and Barcelona, underscores the widening geographical scope of the outbreak and the urgency of implementing effective measures to prevent further spread, particularly to domestic pig populations. The situation remains relevant due to its potential economic impact on the region's agricultural sector.
