ENDEMIC ANTHRAX DISEASE THREATENS LIVESTOCK IN BAGHLAN
Up to 85 percent of the livestock in Afghanistan's northeastern Baghlan Province have contracted anthrax, and many cattle in Baghlan have died as a result, Iranian state radio reported on 13 April, citing the head of the province's Agriculture and Husbandry Department. Exact figures are not available. The official expressed concern that the lack of medicine to treat the often-fatal disease could result in its spreading to other locations. KM
