# Two deadly viruses discovered in animals in the Czech Republic - Prague, Czech Republic

> African swine fever was detected in a dead wild boar in a north Bohemian nature range on the Polish border, and bird flu (H5N1) killed thousands of ducks on a farm in Jindřichův Hradec, South Bohemia. Authorities set a 3 km protection zone and 10 km surveillance zone around the poultry outbreak, restricting poultry movement and banning mass poultry events.

## Why it matters

Poultry movement restrictions and export-related limits can reduce local demand for feed and tighten poultry supply, while ASF in wild boar raises pork trade risk in the region. Impact on global grain and meal prices is likely limited.
