Khurpaka – Mouthpass Disease (FMD), a very infectious virus – a genetic disease that affects the animals of two domes, such as cows, pork, sheep, goats and many other wild species.
Europe is facing the most serious outbreak of the disease in this century.
Worker worrying for the potential manifestation
The company said in a warning, “FAO, recently known about the SAT of Iraq and Bahrain’s face -to -face disease (FMD), has proposed instant bio -protection system and observation.”
The FAO said, “The SAT 1 type of virus is foreign to the nearest East and West Eurasia region, ie the virus is not usually found in these regions, which has expressed” serious concern “about its potential expansion.
FMD usually begins in the form of fever and face and legs (holes), causing lumps to infected animals. Although there are very few incidents of death in adult animals, small and weak animals, sudden heart rates, can cause death.
The virus spreads very quickly and in a country or region where the disease is usually not found or where regular vaccines are not provided can affect a lot of animals.
Khurpaka – Mouth Disease, although there is no direct threat to human health, it seriously affects animal health, food protection and farmers’ income. It reduces milk and meat production, which reduces agricultural productivity.
The agency says that where it is a local disease, the cost of direct production damage and vaccination in those regions worldwide has been estimated at about $ 21 billion per year.
However, the company also said that when the obstacles in international and local trade were included, the real economic burden could be much higher than that.
During the FMD’s heavy outbreak in Britain on May 25, more than Million5 million animals were killed, which caused billions of dollars to damage and the livestock industry and tourism sector were badly damaged.
Subsequently, many new measures have been taken, which has reduced the danger and the efficiency of the disaster-reaction action has improved. These include local and national emergency plans to address the outbreaks.
Outbreak and verbs
The FMD virus has recently been found in those parts of Europe, which is usually considered free from the disease, and now the continent has been facing its most severe outbreak since the 21st.
In Germany, an outbreak was confirmed in January (2021), but since then the country has been declared FMD -free. However, the disease is still ongoing in Hungary and Slovakia.
Britain recently banned the import of meat and milk products to face this situation from European countries, where the FMD virus was detected.
In addition, imports from Austria have also been banned, as it is adjacent to neighboring countries like Hungary.
FMD is a permanent existing disease of the nearest East, but recent cases have been a foreign serotype, which is probably from East Africa.
Its cases have been reported in Bahrain, Iraq and Kuwait, although there are high risks in other countries.
The agency says that different types of FMD viruses are constantly active in different regions of the world, and recently highlights the prevailing outbreaks that the disease remains a stable threat to livelihood, food security and safe trade.
Awareness needs to be increased
The Food and Agriculture Organization has said that all the governments have been advised to be vigilant, but especially the damaged and high -risky countries should be taken to spread awareness among farmers and local communities, so that better protection of livestock can be ensured.
Other recommendations include biological protection systems, such as separating sick animals from other animals, examining them with professional veterinarians, reviewing the vaccine records and keeping an urgent plan to activate the FMD.
The agency says that by taking these measures, countries can greatly reduce the risk of the disease.
