Cattle markets banned in Navarre to prevent the spread of DNK disease
Contagious nodular dermatosis (DNK) has become an epidemic and is spreading widely among cows in France and Girona. Although it is not transmitted to humans, it can cause many head losses on farms.
TheGovernment of Navarre has banned the holding of livestock fairs, competitions and livestock fairs until 30 November. There can be no concentration or association of animals except dogs and cats. This measure is intended to stop the epidemic of Nodular Contagious Dermatosis (DNK), which has worsened in France, although the disease is not transmitted from animals to humans.
For the time being, no cases have been detected in Navarre. However, the Department of Agriculture has decided to take this preventive measure because DNK is a category A disease in the European Union, and it is therefore necessary to take measures to eradicate the disease.
The measures taken by Navarre are due to the deterioration of the epidemiological situation in France, which has spread rapidly in many previously clean places and is in the same situation in Girona .
Accordingly, the Government of Navarre has requested that biosafety measures be taken in all beef farms and in the transport of animals. E should theOfficial Veterinary Services ofthe Foral Community be informed of the occurrence of any cases.
The symptoms of the disease are nodules, internal or external, and fever. The disease can cause the deaths of animals and in some cases have lost up to 6% of their livestock. So the Government has stressed that early detection is essential to reducing the impact.
DNK is anon-zoonosic disease , that is, it does not pass on to people either by contact with animals or by consumption of products derived from animals.
