Vietnam reports pig disease outbreak in [Southern] locality
-----------------------------------------------------
A Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS) outbreak among
pigs has occurred in Vietnam's southern Bac Lieu province since early
this month [January 2008], local newspaper People reported Thursday
[10 Jan 2008].
The disease affected 14 pigs in Dong Hai district, the newspaper
quoted the Department of Animal Health under the Vietnamese Ministry
of Agriculture and Rural Development as reporting.
Local veterinary agencies have culled the infected pigs to prevent
the disease from spreading.
Agriculture minister Cao Duc Phat on [9 Jan 2007] asked bordering
provinces and relevant agencies to intensify management over
cross-border transport and trade of animals, especially before and
after the approaching Lunar New Year festival which falls in February [2008].
PRRS was 1st recognized in the United States in the mid-1980s and is
now present in most pig producing countries. The symptoms include
reproductive failure, pneumonia and increased susceptibility to
secondary bacterial infection.
