International media are reporting that a new type of livestock disease has been detected in China, which has not been previously reported. This virus is attracting the attention of experts due to its ability to spread rapidly among animals in a short time.
The disease was detected on two farms in the country's Gansu province and the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. These regions border several countries, including Russia, which increases the risk of the disease spreading to wider areas. A total of 219 out of 6,229 cattle were infected
After that, all the animals in which the disease was detected were destroyed, and large-scale disinfection work was carried out in the affected areas. Laboratory tests showed that the virus belongs to the SAT1 strain of the virus, which has not been found in China before
Experts are paying particular attention to the issue of vaccines. Because the vaccines currently used do not provide sufficient protection against this strain. Therefore, the possibility of a rapid spread of the disease is assessed as high.
Meanwhile, the situation with livestock diseases in neighboring Russia is also becoming more complicated. In recent months, it has been reported that about 90 thousand heads of cattle have been destroyed in various regions. Although this was initially assessed as another disease, some experts suggest that it may also be related to yashur.
