The number of farms in Cyprus affected by pneumonia in sheep and goats has risen to 110, with two more farms reporting outbreaks. Both new cases are located near Athienou, according to local media.
The latest outbreaks have added to the growing concern over the spread of the disease among livestock in the region. The Cyprus Mail reported the new cases, which bring the total number of affected farms to a significant 110 since the beginning of the outbreak.
The Veterinary Services Department in Cyprus has yet to determine the fate of the infected animals and the measures to be taken to control the spread of the disease. The situation remains a critical concern for the agricultural sector in Cyprus.
The disease has caused considerable economic strain on local farmers and has prompted officials to implement measures aimed at preventing further outbreaks. Authorities are working closely with farmers to ensure proper care and management of the affected livestock.
The continued rise in the number of infected farms underscores the need for effective disease control strategies and the importance of maintaining strict biosecurity protocols on farms.
