The Nigerian Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) has cautioned Nigerians against the slaughtering of sick animals for the Eid al-Adha celebration.<\/p>\n

Anthrax is an infection caused\u00a0by the spore-forming bacteria, Bacillus anthracis. It typically affects ruminants such as cows, sheep, and goats.<\/p>\n

It is a zoonotic disease \u2014 transmissible from contaminated animals to humans.<\/p>\n

Humans<\/a> can get infected if they handle or are involved in the slaughter of a sick animal, or are in contact with contaminated animal products.<\/p>\n

However, anthrax is, not spread from person to person by casual contact.<\/p>\n

Symptoms of the disease include cough, fever, and muscle aches, and if not diagnosed and treated early it may lead to pneumonia, severe lung problems, shock and death.<\/p>\n

The disease has claimed some lives in northern Ghana.<\/p>\n

In a statement on Tuesday, the NCDC said that there is currently no suspected or confirmed case of anthrax<\/a> in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

The agency noted that the country\u2019s close relationship with Ghana through border movement of humans and animals, and strong trade relations \u201ccomes with a high risk of importation of the disease\u201d.<\/p>\n

NCDC said the outbreak of anthrax outbreak in Ghana poses a great public health risk to Nigeria due to the dangerous and highly transmissible nature of the disease.<\/p>\n

\u201dThis is particularly important due to the upcoming Eid-el-Adha religious festivity. It is expected that there will be significant movement, high volume trade, and slaughter of cattle and other livestock animals in preparation for or as part of this Muslim festival,\u201d the statement reads.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe NCDC therefore, advise Nigerians to avoid all non-essential travel to the northern region of Ghana<\/a> and to exercise caution when buying livestock from Nigerian states bordering Benin, Chad, and Niger, and from Ghana and Togo via waterways.<\/p>\n

\u201cCarefully observe rams or cattle to be slaughtered for the festive period for signs of sickness before slaughtering. Do not slaughter animals at home, rather make use of abattoirs or slaughter slabs. Avoid contact with meat\/bush meat or animal by-products such as skin, hides (\u201cpomo\u201d) and milk of a sick or dead animal,\u201d the statement reads.<\/p>\n

\u201cDo not slaughter sick animals. Slaughtering the sick animal can expose the anthrax spores which can be inhaled by humans if the animal is infected with anthrax.<\/p>\n

\u201cDo not eat products from sick or dead animals. Hunters should not pick sick or dead animals from the bush or forest to be sold for human consumption. Report any incidence of the sudden death of animals to the nearest veterinary authorities or the state ministry of agriculture<\/p>\n

\u201cAnthrax is treatable when reported early. Visit the nearest health facility if you notice any of the signs and symptoms associated with anthrax for prompt treatment.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
