Tunisia has reported its first case of lumpy skin disease (LSD) in cattle in the Jendouba governorate, near the Algerian border. The disease, which spreads through insects but is not contagious to humans, was confirmed by the Veterinary Research Institute in Tunis. In response, the Tunisian government has implemented strict measures, including isolating the affected farm, treating against insects, and monitoring nearby farms. The Ministry of Agriculture is urging breeders to follow biosecurity protocols and promptly report suspected cases to prevent the disease from spreading further.
The pie chart represents the distribution of Mpox cases in Africa in 2024. It shows that 19.3% of the cases are confirmed (2,745 cases), while the majority, 80.7%, are suspected cases (11,505 cases). This visual emphasizes the need for ongoing investigation and monitoring of suspected cases across the continent.
In an exciting leap towards environmental rejuvenation, the Southern Highland Conservation and Heritage Organization (SOHICOHE) proudly announces its collaboration with the Ruvuma Regional Office. Together, they are spearheading a dynamic initiative to plant four million trees across the Ruvuma region, especially in areas impacted by coal mining.
