The incident was reported by the Ministry of Water Resources, Agriculture, and Processing Industry, citing the Republican Center for Quarantine and Particularly Dangerous Infections.
Specialists from the Veterinary Service and the Republican Center conducted an epizootic and epidemiological investigation in the village. Samples from a slaughtered animal, including meat and soil, were collected for further research.
The ministry noted that the slaughtered animal had been vaccinated against anthrax. The region’s anti-epizootic measures for anthrax were completed at 162% of the planned target. Karool-Dobo has no history of anthrax outbreaks and is considered free from the disease.
Currently, veterinary and sanitary measures are being implemented locally to prevent anthrax. Vaccine and disinfectant supplies are fully stocked. The Veterinary Service has 846,489 doses of anthrax vaccines reserved for routine vaccinations.
Previously, on May 9, Kyrgyzstan reported an anthrax infection in another region. The case involved a resident who became ill after consuming meat from a cow that had been slaughtered without a veterinary inspection.
