Tunisia: The Ministry of Agriculture detects cases of haemorrhagic fever in cattle
17-08-2022
The veterinary services of the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Water Resources announce that they have detected pathological cases of haemorrhagic fever in cattle.
This disease is caused by a virus infecting ruminants, in particular gazelles, camels and could appear in heifers, its symptoms are similar to the pathology of the blue tongue, indicates the Ministry of Agriculture, this Wednesday August 17, in a press release.
The disease is essentially animal and cannot be transmitted to humans. It appeared for the first time in Tunisia and the Arab Maghreb in 2006. It is transmitted by a type of insect which proliferates in the event of climatic conditions. conducive (humidity and high temperatures). The disease causes internal bleeding in this species of ruminants.
The Ministry of Agriculture warns against the proliferation of insects carrying animal diseases, with the current weather conditions in Tunisia, marked by high temperatures and rains.
The Ministry's veterinary services are calling on breeders to protect their livestock from disease-carrying insects, by sheltering them, especially before dusk and after sunrise. They recommend that they equip their barn with a mosquito net, and eliminate stagnant water. They urge them to use, from time to time, pesticides that are harmless to the environment, and to avoid the accumulation of fertilizers.
The same services call to warn the regional delegations of agriculture, in the event of the appearance of suspected cases carrying the symptoms of this transmissible pathology.

Report on insect-borne diseases
17-08-202279
As a result of the climatic changes that our country has witnessed during the recent period of high temperatures and rain in some areas, which caused the proliferation of insects that transmit animal diseases, the veterinary services of the Ministry of Agriculture, Water Resources and Fishing learned that during the current month, some cases were recorded in cows of a disease called a disease called Epidemiological hemorrhage (EHD), which is caused by a virus that infects ruminants, especially deer and elk, appears in cattle, and its symptoms are similar to those of blue tongue disease.
It is an animal disease mainly that is not transmitted to humans. It appeared for the first time in Tunisia and the Maghreb in 2006, where it causes internal bleeding that affects these types of ruminants and is transmitted through insects of the culicoides type that multiply by the availability of appropriate climatic factors (humidity and high temperature) especially in humid and irrigated areas.
Veterinary services call on all breeders to prevent and protect their animals from insect-borne diseases by applying the following instructions:
Placing the animals inside shelters protected from the presence of mosquitoes to protect them from their bites, especially before sunset and after sunrise, with the necessity of placing a mosquito net in all the outlets in the stables whenever possible.
Resisting vector insects by removing stagnant water in places adjacent to animal shelters and spraying non-permanent pesticides that are not harmful to the ecological balance.
Avoid accumulating natural fertilizers around the taped.
Spray animals with insect-repelling agents (répulsif).
The necessity of informing all suspicious cases and contacting the regional delegates for agricultural development in the form of noticing the symptoms of the disease (high temperature, redness of the membranes (muqueuses), swelling of the head....)
Resorting to the nearest private veterinarian when the first symptoms appear to confirm the animal's disease state and not to resort to self-medication, as this may be dangerous to the animal's safety.
