Romania finds deadly anthrax in pig at smallholding
Symptoms include a high fever, an enlarged spleen, and swellings of the throat in some animals. Once the symptoms appear it is too late to treat with antibiotics.

A pig at a smallholding in Romania has contracted anthrax, which kills thousands of livestock in tropical and sub-tropical areas each year but is rare in temperate regions.

Romania's veterinary health authority ANSVSA said on Tuesday the outbreak was in a small farm in the town of Saveni near the border with Moldova, where it had detected the Bacillus anthracis infection in one pig and another 13 were at risk...

HomeSocial BOTOŞANI, (Yesterday, 13:56) Raluca Lazaroi

Another dangerous disease affects pigs in Romania. The first case was recorded in a household in Botosani

Several investigations are being carried out in Botoşani after a case of anthrax in a pig has been recorded in a household in Săveni. He directs the Sanitary-Veterinary and Food Safety Division to ensure that there is no danger of transmitting the disease.
...
The Director of Botoşani Sanitary-Veterinary and Food Safety Department, Minodora Vasiliu, told MEDIAFAX correspondent Wednesday that investigations were initiated after the owner of a slaughtered pig who wanted to do a meat analysis at the DSVSA headquarters. The tests established that the animal was infested with anthrax, and all persons who came into contact with the pig carcass and the animals in the owner's household were tested and vaccinated.

"The owner of a non-professional holding was presented to the veterinary laboratory with a guinea pig sample from a pig he sacrificed on his own initiative, saying that pig had been treated with antibiotic for three to four days and that he did not response to treatment. He decided to sacrifice him, but he was keen to find out what the diagnosis was. We took the sample, and analyzes were made including the one for the African swine fever that came out negative. Instead, it came out on Bacillus anthrachis (anthrax) cultures. It was released from glomerantrax analysis bulletin, which is a form of anthrax, with glossopharyngeal localization, rarely encountered in pigs, also called charcoal angina because the most receptive species are ovine and caprine cattle, "he said, for the MEDIAFAX correspondent,

According to her, the man had a single pig in his household.

"On the holding, the owner had one pig, the slaughtered and another 16 cattle he had in the pasture and who were vaccinated anti-charcoal. I am making it clear that anthrax is a tellurium disease, common to man and animal (...) and it is made of coccunic vaccination to all of these species and as a result they can not take the disease, "Vasiliu explained.

After laboratory tests have confirmed the presence of anthrax, the Persians who have come into contact with the pig have undergone an epidemiological investigation and the animals in the area have been monitored.

"We have urgently announced the Public Health Directorate to highlight the people who came into contact with the pig at the time of slaughter. There are five people who did not show any symptoms that could be attributed to anthrax, the Prefecture was informed, ISU, the competent organs were informed. Meanwhile, DSVSA has mechanically cleansed and disinfected the caustic soda of the area, and what resulted from the slaughter was lifted and taken to its own incinerator at DSVSA Botosani. The lab colleagues sent the samples to Bucharest, and after receiving the confirmation, I went to a second mechanical cleaning and disinfection, "Minodora Vasiliu said.

Vasiliu said that, from the first data, all people are out of danger, but investigations continue.

From the farmer's statement, to find out how the disease came to that paddock, the representatives of DSVSA Botosani learned that he took lucerne with all the earth and brought it to the pig's palych, which is probably the cause of the animal's illness.
