Russia imposes quarantine near Moscow over lumpy skin disease in cattle
Authorities banned cattle transport, milk and feed from the quarantined area and barred agricultural fairs after the disease was found near Moscow.
- On Wednesday, Moscow regional authorities imposed a quarantine after detecting lumpy skin disease in cattle across villages about 25 km from the capital, according to an official government document.
- Lumpy skin disease, a viral infection that causes fever and painful lumps in cattle, does not infect humans; widespread in North Africa, the disease appeared in several European countries last year.
- The regional order bans transporting cattle, feed, and products like milk to or from quarantined zones, as the infection significantly reduces milk output and weakens affected livestock.
- Earlier this week, authorities in the Irkutsk Region near Lake Baikal in Siberia imposed a quarantine, ordering the culling of infected animals and banning agricultural fairs to prevent spread.
- Authorities in France also ordered the culling of infected cows, sparking protests, while similar outbreaks involving other diseases in Siberia during spring led to mass culling and rare farmer protests.
