RIGA, Aug. 8 (Xinhua) -- African swine fever, which in recent months had only been spreading in Latvia's wild boar population, is hitting domestic pigs again as the deadly animal disease has been found on two farms in less than a month, the Latvian veterinary authority said Monday.
The latest cases of African swine fever in domestic pigs have been reported in the municipality of Stradi in the eastern Latvian district of Gulbene. All 142 pigs on the affected farm will have to be put down, the Food and Veterinary Service said.
Measures are being taken on the farm to stem the outbreak, and an epidemiological investigation has been launched to establish how the infection found its way into the farm.
A 3 km quarantine zone and a 10 km monitoring area have been set around the farm to monitor the health of domestic pigs and wild boar, as well as traffic in the area. Special attention will be paid to the transportation of animals and meat products in this territory.
At the end of July, the disease was found on a farm in the southeastern Latvian municipality of Varkava. This was the first time since September 2015 that the infection was reported in domestic pigs again.
As the African swine fever continues to spread in the wild boar population, nearing the western Latvian region of Kurzeme, which so far has remained unaffected, the deadly infection has been reported in 695 wild boars in 62 Latvia's districts and two towns already.
The first cases of African swine fever in Latvia were reported in June 2014 when the infection was confirmed in three wild boars that had been found dead near the Belarusian border. Enditem

ATHENS, Nov. 6 (Xinhua) -- More than three decades after the launch of the Athens Classic Marathon and ten years after the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, Greek organizers of the major sports event have high hopes for this year's celebration on Nov. 9, they told a press conference in the Greek capital on Thursday.
With a new record participation of 35 yeezy boost 350 hvid ,000 runners from worldwide in all road races, including 13,000 Marathon runners for the classic 42,195 meters course, the Athens Classic Marathon is re-launched by the Hellenic Athletics Federation (SEGAS) as the "Athens Marathon. The Authentic".
The new name marks a new era for the Athens Marathon http://www.yeezyboosttilbud.com/ , organizers explained, hoping for a brighter future with more participants and spectators from across the globe.
The new title underlines the unique nature of the course run first 25 centuries ago by the ancient Athenian soldier Pheidippides who inspired the modern marathons. Participants in the first modern Olympic Games in 1896 in Athens followed in his footsteps and thousands of athletes ever since.
Throughout the decades the Athens Classic Marathon turned into the biggest annual sports event for Athens and Greece and an opportunity to celebrate life and showcase the best image of Greece.
"Athens will experience in the next few days an international sports event, a celebration of life. We call on all Athenians to participate again," Greek Athletics Federation (SEGAS) President Kostas Panagopoulos said.
"We have big hopes for this year's Athens marathon the Authentic. Every year we try to tell the world that it is worthwhile for every runner around the world to come to run the authentic course," the event's General Coordinator Makis Asimakopoulos told Xinhua.
The original Athens race is a most challenging route with a unique historic context organized in a high level with all international standards yeezy boost danmark , he noted, calling on more elite athletes and non professional runners to compete in the coming years.
A new race record could give further boost to SEGAS' promotion campaign.
"I think that this year we are going to have a record. We have brought the winners of last year, the best we can... Ten years after the Olympic Games in Athens, after the record of Stefano Baldini, we hope that this organization will break the record on the authentic course and will give pleasure to all Athenians yeezy boost tilbud , Greeks and organizers, because we are all the legacy of the Athens Olympic Games," Asimakopoulos said.
A decade ago the Italian athlete covered in 2:10:55' the 42 kilometers distance from Marathon to the Panathinaic Stadium, the venue of the 1896 Olympic Games.
Among marathon runners this year will be Kenyan athlete David Kipkorir Rutoh, the 3rd winner of last year's Athens Marathon and Greek athletes Denise Demakis and Christoforos Meroussis.
