A outbreak of small ruminant plague (PPR) has occurred in Greece and Romania, leading to the temporary suspension of small ruminant shipments from Greece to EU member states. The disease, while not harmful to other animal species or humans, causes economic damage and is highly contagious among small ruminants. In response, authorities in Romania and Greece, along with Hungary, have implemented measures such as suspending shipments, inspecting arrivals, and increasing surveillance to prevent the spread of the disease. Additionally, animal health experts are investigating possible illegal animal transports and conducting enhanced epidemiological control of sheep and goat shipments to Contain the spread of the disease. Animal farmers in affected areas are advised to report any symptoms in their herds to the appropriate authorities.
