According to the press service, on the whole the virus has been fixed at 1.6 thousand animals, of which 1.2 thousand have received the necessary treatment, while the remaining 400 are under the supervision of experts.
According to experts, this kind of disease is transmitted by blood-sucking insects, including horseflies, flies and mosquitoes.
