According to these sources, the diarrhea that seizes small ruminants kills them after three days at the most.

The chief of the Mombuza village, Mwami Kamango Bwisoga, alerts the authorities and requests urgent intervention to save these small ruminants which constitute a wealth for its population:

“I would like to inform the authorities that we are suffering a lot. Our goats are dying here in our villages, especially at my house here, 41 kilometers away. In recent months, there are already 180 dead goats. The origin of the disease is not known. They just have diarrhea and after three days they die."

And the local population “consumes the meat of these dead goats. And it is not known whether this disease is contagious for humans”

Mwami Kamango asks the authorities to bring them help and to determine the cause of this disease.
