Veterinary Health Updates Market Lockdown on Foot-and-Mouth Disease
Efforts in Libya continue to contain the spread of foot-and-mouth disease, which remains in an active spreading phase and primarily affects cattle and lamb herds in the eastern and western regions. Procedures include closing livestock markets, intensifying control over transportation movements, and isolating infected animals, all aimed at reducing the transmission of the virus, which spreads rapidly through direct contact and contaminated objects. The current situation is causing direct economic losses, such as lamb fatalities and reduced production, with warnings that the geographic spread of the disease could expand if smuggling and unregulated livestock transportation persist. Experts emphasize that control largely depends on strict adherence to preventive measures and widespread vaccination efforts, while reassuring that the disease does not pose a significant risk to human health if proper cooking and disinfection procedures are followed.
