    ANIMALS CONTRACTED JAUNDICE

    One or two cases of Siberian ulcer are detected in Armenia every year,
    first Deputy Minister of Agriculture Grisha Baghyan said on Wednesday
    when commenting on the recent case discovered in Gegharkunik province.

    He says all livestock in the villages of Vardenis and Tsovak were
    vaccinated in May, but in September parasites were found in the blood
    of cattle that weakened the immune system of animals.

    "We have detected only one case. An action has been brought before
    court but to this moment we do not have any information," said
    Mr Baghyan.

    In response to A1+ whether the infected animal came in the form of aid,
    the ministry official said, "The cow was bred by a farmer who has a
    lot of animals, we all know him. The quarantine imposed in Vardenis
    will be lifted when we become convinced that there are not risks for
    transmission of the infection."

    Speaking about the cases of jaundice reported in Gegharkunik and
    Lori provinces, Mr Baghyan said, "This is a new disease spread by
    blood-sucking mosquitoes. It is easily treated, the drug costs AMD
    200. The meat of infected animals is edible."
