Two more samples of the CReSA, which have been frozen for five years and whi…
“Genetic sequencing tells us that wild boar samples don’t match those of the IRTA-CResa,” said the agricultural councillor, Oscar Ordeig.
Ordeig ensures that the analysis of samples stored in the IRTA-CReSA excludes the possibility of a leak

This was announced this Tuesday by the Catalan Agriculture Councillor, Óscar Ordeig, at a press conference, in which he has pointed out that this is a prelimin…
