Drawing alarm in Europe: Lusters face great dangers!

In Europe, the farm animals are faced with a serious threat from several epidemics that are alarm in Hungary. Currently, not only rages the dreaded blue -tung disease, but also other dangerous viral diseases such as poultry flu and the African swine fever. According to krone.at , the blue -tongue disease is particularly insidious: it is one of the most contagious virus diseases in cattle, sheep and goats, and can also affect other couples such as wild boar and deer. Infected animals show symptoms such as fever, loss of appetite and painful blistering on the udder, claws and mouths

The virus that causes the blue-tongue disease is transferred by blood-sucking gnitzen and, fortunately, is not transferred to humans, such as Agrarheute.com . These insects act as a transmission connection between infected and healthy animals. Historically, Germany was affected by the blue -tongue disease between 2006 and 2009, but from 2012 to 2018 the country was considered to be diseased. However, there is currently an increasing trend in the outbreaks, especially the serotype 8, for which there is a vaccine. Experts warn that the increasing number of atypical serotypes could further complicate the situation that is worrying for agriculture.
