Veterinary advice on Crimean Congo fever

According to Fars News Agency, quoting the public relations of the Veterinary Organization, Amin Asadi said: “Since the beginning of this year, 7 people have been identified with Crimean Congo fever, but unfortunately 1 person has died.”

The director general of public relations of the country’s veterinary organization added: the conditions for the prevention and treatment of Crimean Congo fever are available in the country. And we ask people to take the recommendations of the veterinary organization seriously.

He added: “Crimean Congo fever is common between humans and livestock, and if hygiene is not observed, humans will be infected.”

This disease will not increase by following a few simple health principles, which are as follows.

1- Elimination of disease-carrying ticks by spraying and bathing livestock and spraying and disinfecting livestock places according to veterinary opinion.

2- Avoid crushing ticks by hand or on the body of the animal.

3 – Avoid contact of mucous membranes of the body (such as eyes and mouth) with secretions and blood of infected animals.

4- Refraining from killing livestock in unauthorized places.

5- Preparing the required meat from safe places and under veterinary supervision.

6- Store fresh livestock meat completely for 24 hours in the oven at 2 to 4 degrees Celsius. (Refrigerator temperature)

7- Personal protection methods in contact with animal secretions and blood (wearing gloves, long clothes, boots, masks and glasses).

8- Avoid eating raw and semi-cooked liver.

9- The virus is sensitive to heat, so cooking meat kills the virus.

10. In case of any wounds or skin injuries during the slaughter and with the onset of symptoms, refer to health centers immediately.
