Anthrax in Serbia - situation in infected zones under control

Via EM Portal :

" The situation in two villages in Vojvodina that have been declared anthrax-infected zones is under control and there is minimum possibility for the spread of the disease, Maja Andrijasevic of the Ministry of Agriculture Veterinary Directorate said Friday.

“Citizens can feel absolutely positive that everything they eat and drink is safe,” Andrijasevic said in connection with the current situation in the villages of Bocar and Novo Milosevo that have been declared anthrax-infected zones.

Andrijasevic said that from the moment the disease had been diagnosed, the relevant veterinary service, veterinary institute and the competent veterinary inspection were out there in the field and implementing prescribed measures.

The implementation of control measures is still under way, she added.

The disease is usually related to veterinarians, as they are more likely to get into contact with an infected animal, while the rest of the population is safe and there is minimum possibility for the spread of the disease, Andrijasevic said for the Radio and Television of Serbia (RTS)."
