A meeting of the Regional Epizootic Commission is scheduled for today in Haskovo. The reason is the complicated situation with infectious diseases in large and small ruminants in Greece and Cyprus.
In our southern neighbor there are outbreaks of pox in sheep and goats, and in Cyprus - of foot-and-mouth disease. The purpose of the meeting in the Haskovo regional administration is to identify measures for prevention against dangerous diseases.
