Brucellosis has reappeared this year on a cattle farm in the municipality of Memaliaj.
The zonal disease that has traditionally been present in the Gjirokastra region marked the first outbreak for this year with 5 infected heads out of about 40 that have herds. Blood samples were also confirmed as positive by ISUV while the farm has been quarantined. The head of the veterinary service however announced that the situation does not pose a danger to the population as the case is isolated and under control. Infected cattle were not bred for milk but only for meat.
