PARIS (Reuters) - Hungary has reported its first outbreak of bluetongue disease in a decade, the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) said on Wednesday.
Bluetongue is a potentially fatal disease affecting domestic ruminants, primarily sheep, cattle, and goats.
The outbreak was detected in 15 cattle within a herd of 303 animals in the county of Somogy in the southwestern part of the country, the Paris-based WOAH said, citing information from Hungarian authorities.
The previous outbreak of bluetongue in Hungary was last recorded in December 2015, the WOAH added.
