"30% of cattle infected with haemorrhagic fever"
Sunday, May 26, 2002 - 2002 IranMania.com
TEHRAN, May 26 (AFP) - Thirty percent of Iran's
cattle are infected with an extremely contagious haemorrhagic fever with officials
sounding "public alarm" over a probable new outbreak of the deadly disease, a press
report said Sunday.
"Iran's health officials have sounded public alarm over the spread of a contagious
Ebola-type disease, known as Crimean Congo Haemorrhagic Fever (CCHF), saying
that thirty percent of the country's cattle are contaminated with its virus," the
English-
langauge Tehran Times paper reported.
"Health officials have warned that a new outbreak was in the making with the start of
a hot spell," Mohammad Mahdi Gouya who heads the health ministry's Disease
Management Center said, quoted by the conservative daily.
The deadly disease "has led to the death of at least 20 Iranians since 2001," the daily
said adding that "more than 140 people" have been diagnosed as "carrying the
virus."
CCHF is a tick-borne virus stemming from livestock which is transmitted into open
cuts and sores. It causes massive bleeding through the nose, mouth and ears and
can lead to organ failure.
The extremely contagious disease can be passed on by contact with the blood and
other body fluids of a patient. Initial symptoms include headaches, fevers and
vomiting.
