Long An: For nearly a week [July 2010], many pigs had fallen ill,
refused to eat and then died. Their medical samples tested positive
for the blue-ear virus.
So far, the provincial veterinary department has destroyed 200 dead
or seriously ill pigs and another 40 infected pigs are being
monitored and treated in isolation.
The province has decided to provide financial assistance to
households with infected pigs by paying them more than VND20 000 per
pig. It is also setting up check-points around Ward 5 to prevent the
movement of livestock. In addition, the province is decontaminating
the infected areas, and encouraging citizens to join in the fight
against the disease.

Lao Cai: All 9 samples taken from sick pigs in Duyen Hai ward tested
positive for the deadly virus.
According to preliminary statistics, 122 out of the total of 181 pigs
in 12 households in Duyen Hai were infected by blue-ear disease.
Dao Duy Kien, head of the Lao Cai provincial Department of Animal
Health, said the epidemic 1st hit the locality in 2008, and it was
still not properly under control due to ineffective hygiene and
safety measures. The Department is currently working hard to prevent
the spread of the disease to surrounding areas, he added.
Provincial authorities have called on relevant agencies and local
authorities to detect any new cases of blue-ear disease and apply
stricter measures to sterilise affected areas and control the
slaughtering, transport and trading of pigs.
