  • China - 1 person reportedly dead after anthrax outbreak in livestock in Ningxia - April 17, 2018

    Ningxia two small towns burst anthrax epidemic authorities sequestered off the market to close the market

    April 17, 2018

    In the two towns of Zhongwei City, Ningxia, a suspected skin-type anthrax broke out . One of the three cases was found dead. The authorities have immediately blocked the isolation and closed the livestock market. However, not all people in the locality have learned the situation. People in neighboring cities stated that the government did not report the epidemic and only reported through the media. However , it is believed that the epidemic will not spread, but that cattle and sheep will not be eaten in the short term. (Wen Yuqing reports)
    The Haiyuan County Government of Zhongwei City reported that a villager in Beizui Village, Qiying Township, Haiyuan County, recently died while attending a hospital. It is understood that he had previously consumed dead beef. The neighboring town of Sanliang Town, Liangliang Village also had two villagers who developed symptoms after eating dead mutton and were diagnosed with suspected skin anthrax. Currently in hospital treatment, the condition is stable.
    Ms. Zhang from Yinchuan City, the neighboring city, told reporters that the local media had reported the epidemic. She also asked the friends of Zhongwei City to find out that the two towns that were accused of outbreaks had been sealed off and temporarily unable to access normally.
    Ms. Zhang said that it was blocked, and the villagers would certainly not be able to come out. They wanted to pass through that quarantine junction. The parties (infected villagers) certainly cannot leave home, and poultry or other things may be buried. (Sheep) is not sick and I understand that the villagers discovered that a sheep is not walking (sick), slaughter and feeding, and the villagers did not die when they ate. The trading market in the surrounding areas of Haiyuan County is that the markets for selling cattle and sheep are all closed.
    Ms. Zhang pointed out that in the past, an outbreak of SARS broke out in Ningxia. At that time, the authorities failed to control the epidemic in a timely manner and there were deaths. In the absence of isolation, no one visited the shopping malls, restaurants, etc. after the visit. The merchants suffered heavy losses. Learning from the experience and the subsequent outbreak of bird flu, the authorities are not afraid to deliberately conceal the epidemic.
    Therefore, Ms. Zhang does not worry that the epidemic of suspected skin-type anthrax will spread. She will take preventive measures for her own safety.
    Ms. Zhang said: More than control the two towns, the surrounding areas will also control (outbreaks). A few days ago to buy pork, 13 to 15 yuan per catty, yesterday to buy 10 yuan a pound, a look at the newspaper (know the news) will not buy, and now I do not eat beef and mutton, do not buy. Why don't you worry, officials are staying here, and their families are staying here. They are also scared.
    However, not everyone in Zhongwei City understands the outbreak of skin anthrax.
    The people said: I don't know about it.
    The reporter asked: Has there been no report in Zhongwei City?
    The people answered: No.
    The station called the Haiyuan County government to understand the latest situation of the epidemic. The wiring staff stated that the epidemic has been controlled.
    Government officials: The epidemic has been effectively controlled. Now the Ningshu Daily has officially notified that it is issued by our district government. You press the content of "Ning Daily" to report.
    According to mainland media reports, the Haiyuan County government immediately launched an emergency plan after receiving a report on Tuesday (10th), including the closing of the Seven Camps and the Sanhe Live Animal Trading Market and prohibiting livestock from entering and trading. All animals in the affected area are culled and harmlessly treated. Two checkpoints are also set up to sterilize the vehicles.

    2018-05-02

    Recently, Russia issued a travel warning to its citizens who plan to go to China to request attention to the anthrax epidemic in central China.

The other two were farmers in Sanhe Township, Haiyuan County, who had been infected by a single dead sheep and were currently undergoing hospital treatment. .

    According to officials, the epidemic has now been effectively controlled. However, on the afternoon of April 18, a notice appeared in WeChat's circle of friends in Yinchuan City that the anthrax incident in Haiyuan County had spread to Yinchuan, the provincial capital. However, the local government subsequently claimed that the content of the notice was false information. It is hoped that the general public would not believe it or pass on it. The progress of the epidemic should be based on the information released by the authority of the Ningxia Autonomous Region Health and Family Planning Commission.

    According to relevant information, anthrax is an infectious disease of zoonotic infections caused by anthrax, and herbivores, such as cows, sheep, camels and cockroaches, are the main sources of infection.

    At the same time, the Ministry of Health and Epidemic Prevention of Russia stated that Russia had also had an outbreak of anthrax infection in livestock in 2017, and it has stepped up its prevention work this year.

    Alexander Kazlov, an official of the Russian Ministry of Health and Epidemic Prevention in Bdanstan, commented: ?In fact, studies on anthrax have been going on for hundreds of years, and anthrax virus is almost impossible to kill. Therefore, we need to be very cautious and careful about the handling of livestock in the outbreak areas."
