The Region of Western Greece is currently facing a small ruminant plague, with positive cases found in units of Ilia and Etoloakarnania, and serious situations reported in Ilia and Achaia. A sheep breeding unit in Rodopi and one in Serres are pending results, and the spread of the virus is expected to be determined in the coming days. In response, all animals in positive cases are being killed, sanitary landfills and disinfection are being carried out, and tests are being conducted to determine the extent of the spread. Restrictive measures for animal transport and slaughter are being extended, and compensation will be provided to affected breeders. A meeting was held to address the situation, with a commitment to applying European and Greek legislation to eradicate the plague from the island.
