[dArKeR]

Johannesburg - Blue-Ear Pigs Disease has been diagnosed on a pig farm on the Cape Flats, according to preliminary tests done at the Onderstepoort Veterinary Research Institute.

The Western Cape's minister of agriculture, Cobus Dowry, said on Friday that as far as could be ascertained only one farm appeared to be involved, but an investigation into the possible source and extent of the disease had been initiated.

"The disease will only be finally confirmed after the causative virus has been isolated," said Dowry.
