Un nou focar de variolă ovină lovește România | Boala intratabilă a fost descoperită în Iași

A new outbreak of sheep pox has been confirmed in Iași County, leading to the culling of 600 infected sheep. The disease is highly contagious among animals but does not affect humans. Authorities have imposed strict surveillance and movement restrictions on the farm. The outbreak comes at a challenging time for Romanian livestock, as the EU has suspended live animal exports due to previous outbreaks. There is no specific antiviral treatment for sheep pox, and control measures focus on isolation, culling, and disinfection.
