Bouar, September 3, 2014 (RJDH) - - Twenty pigs die every day in the city of Bouar. The owners of these animals, ignore the origin of these cases. According to a veterinary officer of the locality, failure to follow the immunization schedule is the cause of this alleged epidemic. Nevertheless, people continue to eat the meat of these animals, some even sell on it the market.

"I lost over 16 in less than a week without yet knowing the cause of their death, sometimes the bodies of pigs were found in empty houses or in the bush. This has caused a great loss for me, "said Theodore Limona a pig farmer from the town of Bouar.

For its part, Sylvain Fango, another breeder indicates that these pigs are not affected by this disease. He also assumes that "it is negligence on the part of the farmers, they have not complied with the vaccination book. Which made them lose their pigs, "he said.

For the responsible of animal health in the city of Bouar Thierry Dinaye, it is an epidemic since the number of deaths of these animals rapidly increasing. He also stressed that in 2012 the same disease was discovered in the prefecture of Ouham-Péndé and the sample was made at the Institue Pasteur of Bangui.

According to Thierry N'Diaye, consumption poses no danger to the publicexcept the disturbance of his conscience, but it is not the 'Zono' which can be transmitted from animal to person or from person to animal. Some of the farmers in this locality are already beginning to evacuate their pigs to prevent the outbreak. / RJDH

I don't think it is Ebola haemorrhagic fever. I believe Ebola is only a disease affecting only primates but please correct me if I'm wrong.

I don't think it is Ebola haemorrhagic fever. I believe Ebola is only a disease affecting only primates but please correct me if I'm wrong.

I believe the Ebola Reston strain has been found in pigs in the Philippines.

Nevertheless, there are a wide range of non-zoonotic diagnoses here, and if this was due to Ebola, you would think some human would have been affected by now, as this apparently started August 14.

Fruit bats, which are not primates, are believed to be a significant reservoir of Ebola. But pigs have been infected deliberately with the Reston strain to see whether it could be passed to primates without contact (yes), and antibodies to the Reston strain have been found both in pigs and in farm workers in the Phillipines. We're just really lucky that the Reston strain doesn't kill people, and I pray that doesn't change.
