Siberian ulcer was discovered in the Penza region

In the village of ATMIS Nizhnelomovsky district of the Penza region, the fact of infection of the anthrax was recorded.

Everything was discovered by accident: K. pensioners fell ill with a heifer, and the owners did not seek help for two days, and when they asked the veterinarian to come to them, he advised him not to do anything before he examines the cattle. However, having come at the appointed time, the veterinarian saw that the owners, along with hired men, were engaged in cutting carcasses.

An experienced veterinarian, taking samples, specified the symptoms of the disease of the clogged cow and forbade anyone to touch the meat. The samples taken were investigated in the Nizhneloma Veterinary Laboratory. The results of the analysis were terrifying - spores of anthrax were found in the carcass of the animal. The regional center of the state -owned Empire has confirmed the diagnosis.

Representatives of the relevant services urgently arrived in the village. The owners of the stabed cow and the men who participated in the cutting of carcasses were vaccinated. The floors in the barn and where the meat was cut, they were broken and burned, manure was removed on the courtyard, part of the soil was removed, all dangerous places were disinfected. The cows burned the carcass. A 15-day quarantine has been announced in the village, which can extend if the disputes of the Siberian ulcer are discovered again, reports regions.ru .

Experts guess where the infection came from. According to the old-timers, this is not the first time over the past 40-50 years. In the vicinity of the village of ATMIS there are four cattle burns. In 1964, one of the animals cemeteries was under the protection of soldiers of the internal troops during disinfection of the territory, which was abundantly sprinkled with special substances. What kind of chemicals are these are not known for certain. It is only known that the burials are shallow. Perhaps the animal picked up the infection through the grass.
