The appearance of infectious nodular dermatitis (IND) in the Caucasus and in the Russian Federation increases the possibility of further spread of this disease to other countries of Eastern Europe. Belarus, the Republic of Moldova and Ukraine are high-risk countries, and it is therefore necessary to develop and adopt a regional emergency response and preparedness plan as soon as possible, agronews.ua reports.

In Ukraine there is a short-term mission of EU experts assessing the state control system, a set of measures and the preparation of our state to combat infectious nodular dermatitis (IND) in cattle in cases of entry of this disease into the country. This is reported by the press service of the State Service of Ukraine for Food Safety and Consumer Protection.
