Understanding Blauzungenkrankheit in Bayern
The blauzungenkrankheit, or bluetongue disease, is primarily affecting rinder in Bayern as the virus makes its way into Sachsen-Anhalt. This disease is caused by the bluetongue virus, transmitted by biting midges and poses a serious risk to livestock.
The Current Situation in Sachsen-Anhalt
Reports indicate that the virus has significantly spread in Sachsen-Anhalt, particularly in the Harz region. Wernigerode has been noted as a critical area of concern as farmers observe outbreaks in their herds.
What Farmers Need to Know
- Watch for symptoms in rinder, including fever and swelling.
- Implement strict biosecurity measures to prevent further spread.
- Stay informed through local authorities and regional media outlets like MDR.
