New cases of bluetongue found in Hungary

Budapest, September 10 (MTI) – Hungary’s farm ministry on Thursday announced a new outbreak of bluetongue, a viral disease of ruminants, but said the same observation and defense zones delineated last year would remain in place.

Food safety authority Nebih found bluetongue in two animals from a herd of 350 cattle in Tolna County (SW Hungary).

Restrictions related to an outbreak of bluetongue were introduced in about two-thirds of Hungary last year.
