VETERINARY sounding the ALARM
"100,000 animal bites each year"
December 19, 2010 -
The bacteria of the Malta fever may come from cattle by ingesting unpasteurized dairy products or undercooked meat.
Nearly 100,000 animal bites and rodents, causing several cases of rabies are recorded each year in Algeria. This is what was said yesterday in Algiers by veterinarians attending the meeting of the Algerian Society of Veterinary Medicine SAMV. Thus, diseases of zoonotic origin, revolutions, are not yet eradicated in Algeria.
Tuberculosis, also known as Malta fever, leishmaniasis, rabies, brucellosis, cyst fluid (hydatid disease) and others such as leptospirosis and Mediterranean spotted fever, rose again in Algeria. These major zoonoses necessarily reported or infectious diseases affecting animals are transmissible to humans. While not alarming, the situation is worrying.
Speaking on the sidelines of the congress veterinarians held in Algiers, the president of the Algerian Society of Veterinary Medicine, Tikrit Yamani Rashid revealed yesterday that "30,000 cases of leishmaniasis are reported each year in Algeria, 2500 cases waterborne cysts and 3,000 cases of brucellosis are reported each year. "
TB and animal rabies are often recorded during the summer. Veterinarians suggest that bacteria from Malta fever may come from livestock (cattle, sheep and goats), by ingesting unpasteurized dairy products or undercooked meat.
In addition, other diseases such as Rift Valley fever which appeared last summer in Morocco and West Nile in Mauritania last August, also threaten the national herd.
In addition, veterinarians have insisted especially on the work of outreach and communications need to take the place of farmers but also consumers of citizens to prevent them from moving towards a chronic stage that can cause, such as infertility cases of spontaneous abortion in women and devastating consequences.
A lack of communication, plus the lack of organization of veterinarians and non-involvement of the majority of them in the fight against these animal diseases.
The corporation is dominated by the veterinarian in Algeria private. On an overall figure of 10,000 that has veterinarians Algeria, 6,000 of them in private practice while in 1600 only are the public sector, the rest is about 2400 are at the worst unemployment, at best as medical representatives .
