LEADERSHIP Recalls that in July, the federal government confirmed the first case of anthrax in Nigeria, stating that the disease was detected in a farm in Niger State.

He enjoined the attendees to endeavour to share the information until it gets to everybody in the community

Speaking during the sensitization programme at Obajana in Kogi State, Representative of the Dangote Cement Plc, Dr. Akinola Adewale said anthrax is caused by spore-forming bacterium-Bacillius anthracis, which primarily affect animals such as cattle, sheep and goat.

Dr. Adewale said the disease can also infect human beings who come in direct contact with infected animals, or contaminated animal products such as hides, wool and meat.

 

He said one of the ways for identifying infected animals is that upon death, blood continues to gush forth from the animals’ anus, ears and mouth.

 

A member of the medical team, Dr Olufemi Adebayo, advised that sick animals be quarantined and called on livestock owners to report suspicious illness or death.
