Heinlein’s bad luck or Allah expressing his displeasure with the new rulers of Afghanistan? [ToloNews] The department of Agriculture, Irrigation and Livestock said they have recently registered four cases of Lumpy Skin Disease.Lumpy Skin Disease is an infectious disease affecting cattle and its symptoms include fever, lacrimation, hypersalivation, and characteristic skin eruptions. "Please, Fatima! Put the burqa back on!" "First small rashes are on the body of the cow and then it increases to the whole body of the cow," said Abdul Wadood, a resident of Kandahar. "I think the disease is due to trafficking of livestock through illegal paths," said Shah Wali, in charge of Agriculture, Irrigation and Livestock Affairs of Daman district of Kandahar province. According to some provincial officials, the disease can also infect humans by direct transmission. "The disease came from Pakistain. This is a contagious disease which infects the human as well," said Fahim Sapai, a local veterinary doctor. This is starting to cause serious problems in Pakistan. The provincial department of agriculture, irrigation and livestock said that if the central government doesn’t take serious action, the virus will further affect the livestock. |
