Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>The Mozambique Veterinary Authority intends to import over a million doses of vaccine against foot-and-mouth disease to respond to the outbreak confirmed in the districts of Chifunde, Mar\u00e1via and Moatize, in the central province of Tete.<\/p>\n

The acquisition of the vaccines, to be administered to about 500,000 cattle in the high-risk areas, comes at a time when South Africa is under an outbreak of the O strain of foot-and-mouth disease.<\/p>\n

Of the total vaccines being imported, 450,000 are bivalent and aim to respond to the outbreak of the O and SAT 2 strains, while the rest should protect animals from the SAT 1, 2 and 3 viral forms.<\/p>\n

The National Director of Livestock Development (DNDP), Am\u00e9rico da Concei\u00e7\u00e3o, quoted by the Maputo daily \u201cNot\u00edcias\u201d, said the administrative process is concluded and the vaccines are expected to be delivered to the country in the next few days.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are acquiring one million vaccines in Botswana, in response to the outbreak of the disease, which so far remains confined to some districts of Tete province. We expect them to arrive within days to begin distribution\u201d, he said, adding that, for this purpose, a little more than two million dollars has been disbursed from the State Budget.<\/p>\n

The distribution of the vaccines will take into account the vulnerability of regions to foot and mouth disease, focusing on the border districts of the southern provinces of Maputo and Gaza; Manica, Tete and Zambezia (in the central zone) and Niassa (in the north).<\/p>\n

The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development is evaluating the possibility of strengthening surveillance measures and control of beef imports and derivatives from South Africa, due to the spread of foot-and-mouth disease in the neighboring country.<\/p>\n

South Africa has just banned the movement of livestock throughout its territory for a period of 21 days due to the progressive spread of the disease.<\/p>\n

So far, 116 outbreaks have been confirmed on farms, feedlots, and communal areas in KwaZulu-Natal, Limpopo, North West, Gauteng, Mpumalanga, and Free State provinces.<\/p>\n

The disease is spreading in recent months in the southern African region, with confirmed cases in Malawi, Zambia, South Africa and Mozambique.<\/p>\n
