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.
