TIRANA, Aug. 6 (Xinhua) -- The Albanian Ministry of Agriculture said some 240,000 doses of vaccines will be used to immunize cattle affected by dermatosis nodular, the Albanian Daily News reported Saturday.
The ministry said that 150,000 doses of vaccines were delivered on Friday, while 90,000 more doses will be delivered on the third week of August with the support of the state budget.
The disease of dermatosis nodular has affected a total of 425 cattle so far in Albania and in order to prevent it, the agriculture ministry has started a broad vaccination campaign, while the trade of meat from Albania has been banned in the market.
The disease, which is infectious and could be fatal for cattle, does not represent a danger for people. It is now present in Turkey, Macedonia, Kosovo, Serbia, Bulgaria and Greece.
