Pigs die of mysterious disease in eastern Nepal

(Comtex Environment Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge)KATHMANDU, Mar 5, 2006 (Xinhua via COMTEX) -- Over 2,000 pigs have died of an
unidentified disease in some villages of Morang district in
eastern Nepal in the past two months, an official said Sunday.

The disease, first seen in Dangihat and Karanari village of
Morang district, some 300 km east of Kathmandu, claimed the lives
of over 1,000 pigs in Letang village alone, Shambhu Yadav, an
official of the District Livestock Services Office (DLSO), said, adding that eight boars and four buffaloes also died of the
disease.

"The disease is believed to be air borne but we have not
launched any investigation into it," Yadav noted.

Earlier, it was suspected that swine fever was the cause of the
deaths but outbreak of avian flu in India has terrified the
farmers of Morang district located close to India.

Farmers have been disposing the carcass of diseased animals in
the nearby forest and the environment has been polluted there, according to Yadav.

Fever, dysentery, yawning and lack of appetite are the symptoms
of the disease, Yadav added.
