News Article: American Foulbrood Eradicated in Fürth District

After a rigorous eradication effort, the district of Fürth is no longer under quarantine due to the eradication of American Foulbrood. The news was announced today through special gazette No. 16a.

The journey towards this milestone began on 10.04.2025, when American Foulbrood was officially confirmed in a beehive in the district of Fürth. The State Office for Health and Food Safety played a crucial role in the detection and eradication of the disease, working closely with the local authorities.

In response to the confirmation, protective measures were ordered on 11.04.2025 by general decree to protect against the spread of American Foulbrood in the district of Fürth and the designated quarantine area. These measures were in effect until 28.08.2025.

During this period, the Fürth district office implemented strict monitoring and control measures, including mandatory inspections of beekeeping operations, quarantine of affected apiaries, and public awareness campaigns to prevent the spread of American Foulbrood to other areas.

The eradication of American Foulbrood in the district of Fürth was confirmed through follow-up examinations of the affected bee colonies, which have now shown clinically unremarkable results. This means that American Foulbrood has been eradicated in the district, thanks to the combined efforts of the authorities and the beekeeping community.

It's important to note that American Foulbrood does not pose a danger to the citizens. The consumption of honey from infected colonies is harmless to humans.
