Last Tuesday 29th October 2024, HIPRA was present at the conference ‘Situation, Control and Prevention of ASF’ within the Livestock, Industrial and Agri-Food Fair (SEPOR). 

HIPRA presented the next generation ASF vaccine project ‘VAX4ASF’ with Emili Barba (Global Pipeline Manager, HIPRA) and Daniel Pérez (CBM Severo Ochoa Researcher, CSIC).

Francisco Reviriego, head of the Crisis Preparedness in Food, Animals and Plants Unit (SANTE G.2) of the European Union in Brussels, also updated us on the current ASF situation in Europe. And finally, Manuel Díaz Marín, head of the Animal Health Service (CARM), presented the ASF control plan in Murcia.

The event was moderated by Miguel Ángel Higuera, president of the association of producers ANPROGAPOR, and concluded with a round table.

We would like to thank the organisation for the opportunity to present this European project led by HIPRA, which is committed to the potential of live attenuated vaccines to develop an effective, long-lasting and safe solution against the ASF virus. 

If you have not already done so, we encourage you to follow the updates on VAX4ASF website or their LinkedIn and X profiles.
