Saharidj: The villagers are increasingly worried

A strange disease affects domestic dogs

Another animal disease has emerged through several localities of the municipality of Saharidj. Indeed, for nearly a week, domestic dogs are found dead here and there in the region. This is the case in particular in the two villages of Iwakour?ne, namely Ighzer and Thadarth Lejdid where prevails this disease which is devastating the dogs accompanying the herds of sheep and cattle as to will say many breeders. The latter show great concern and fear that their livestock is infected by these dogs presenting identical symptoms to those of FMD with abundant drooling . These animals stop eating and drinking and eventually die after a week of excruciating agony. Others say that from the third day dribbles are transformed into flow of blood and the animal, reddened eyes, , is no longer in balance. They are very concerned that this is the rabies virus especially since the bodies of dead dogs are abandoned in place and decompose rapidly due to the scorching heat that has been raging since the beginning of the month.. The strong presence of dogs in Iwakour?ne reflects the fact that each of the many breeders have between two to three that they use for herding, this parallel to the orchard owners of vineyards, cherry and figueries who bring dogs inside their properties to keep wild boars and monkeys columns operating real raiding to crops on which they are committing real havoc. Note that the use of dogs to fight against the plague of monkeys and wild boar has become widespread to all the high mountain villages in this county, as Ivelvaren, Hamadh Ath, Ath Illithen and Imesdhourar in the commune of Saharidj. These villages are agropastoral, which explains the strong presence of domestic dogs. An alarming fact is that for the sixth consecutive year that agricultural services amputated Program annual vaccinations animal rabies vaccine for dogs, a vaccine that is lavished henceforth to cattle that benefit also from the anti-sheep and anti-FMD. The second situation also alarming is the fact that three dogs were struck down by the same epidemic that prevails in Iwakour?ne in the village Aggache southern periphery of of the commune chief town. The two villages where it appeared to be distant by 25 Kms from each other which comes to the conclusion that this strange disease is far from being an isolated case, but spreads through the territory of the municipality of Saharidj.

Asked about these dogs with symptoms that are noted in cattle with FMD, H. Hocine, veterinarian, is categorical. "It is not of FMD. FMD affects cloven-hoofed animals (cattle, sheep goats and pigs). The dog can carry and transmit the virus, but it is never affected, "he says. Without being affirmative, the vet says, "It could be rabies, but we can not be positive until after the observation of the animal for about fifteen days." Hopefully, the departments concerned will respond, first, to find out what kind of virus it is, and then take appropriate steps to contain and prevent the futher spread to avoid contamination of livestock.
