Three local residents died. Some residents who have this disease have symptoms of fever and pain in the body, elbow and spine. The Rapid Motion Team has been handed down by the Provincial Government, involving the South Sulawesi Health Office and the South Sulawesi Animal Husbandry and Animal Health Service and related elements.
Head of South Sulawesi DPKH Animal Health and Veterinary Public Health, Syamsul Bahri, explained on Saturday (11/5) after seeing the phenomenon and reporting in Jeneponto Regency and coordinating with the Jeneponto District Animal Husbandry Office, South Sulawesi Provincial Health Office and Jeneponto Health Service team,
after a few days there was no type of disease found. Although it has been tested, for example, some diseases of leptospirosis (a disease caused by the Leptospira interrogans bacteria that is spread through urine or blood of animals).
The team together came down to make sure there were no soloses (diseases) from animals or livestock. It is feared that the cause is solosis from livestock, such as anthrax.
"Apparently it was seen and asked by the people there in the village that all the answers were healthy livestock and there were no deaths," Syamsul Bahri said.
According to Syamsul Bahri, this area is also not a flood area a few months ago that occurred in the Jeneponto region and its surroundings.
"We try to take the blood of buffaloes and cows and then chickens, we are afraid not to get solos, so we are still waiting for the results of the Bevet (Center for Veterinary Medicine) Maros. We have anticipated, there is already an integrated team down, the Health Office also, "he explained.
To anticipate, once there are symptoms the disease is found directly dealt with the national animal health reporting system
"So once there are symptoms, there is a death of livestock, for example suspected, direct livestock was reported to the province and center that day," he added.

"So, in the case of watching, we have a special meeting, inviting experts and specialists who are experts in their fields to ascertain what the underlying diagnosis is in Jeneponto," Bachtiar said.
According to Bachtiar, of 70 people who had fever, three patients died, one of whom was pregnant. Some residents were also treated in Takalar District, while the rest were allowed to go home because their condition was assessed to begin to improve.
"Handling done by doctor's friends there is handling typhus. We are again suspecting whether it is purely typoid or there is a name for typhoid meningitis, this time, that's our analysis, "he said.
Another possibility besides typhoid meningitis, namely japanesa encephalitis (Japanese encephalitis) as it developed in Bali today.
From the results of the sample tests for cikungunya, zika, dengue, malaria and rat urine all were negative. Symptoms experienced by residents, typical of fever, pain in the elbow and spine.
