An outbreak of a dangerous bovine disease has been detected in Russia for the second time in a year.

In the Republic of Khakassia, a state of emergency was introduced in the area of ​​the village of Bograd and a 30-kilometer zone around it from October 11. The National Union of Agricultural Insurers (NUA), in a message, explains that a quarantine has been introduced in the region to prevent the spread of nodular dermatitis, a dangerous disease of cattle .

Lumpy dermatitis first came to Russia in 2015, experts explain. Previously, this disease was considered exotic, so Russia has accumulated little experience in vaccination . Moreover, the mortality rate when infected with this disease is 95%. Fortunately, it is not dangerous to people, but it can affect both large and small livestock.

The NSA reminds that nodular dermatitis is included in the list of diseases for which you can insure yourself under an insurance program with state support. It is still difficult for experts to predict how the disease will spread, but nodular dermatitis is especially active in the Far East and in regions close to the southern border of Siberia. In these regions, livestock farmers are strongly advised to insure their livestock in case of a disease outbreak.
