Nigeria should mount sensitization campaigns against anthrax – Vet specialist
The Director of Veterinary Services in the Cross River State Ministry of Agriculture and Natural Resources, Obi Patrick, has advocated early sensitisation of the citizens over the outbreak of the zoonotic disease, Anthrax.
Speaking to journalists, Patrick warned that the spread of the disease is rapid and knows no boundaries.
“There is a serious need to create awareness for Nigerians to know about the prevalence of the anthrax disease. Let members of the public know that there is a disease outbreak that has been reported and that they should be on alert.
To avert widespread attacks, he advised that people should now slow down their consumption of meat.
“For those who like to consume bush meat and hide (pomo), you have to slow down now or only eat hide from approved abattoirs where you are sure that the meats are inspected by officials of the state government,” he said.
He said before the outbreak of the disease, the department of veterinary services in the state Ministry of Agriculture had control posts where all the animals coming into the state were stopped and checked.
He said that with the news of an outbreak, they have intensified their surveillance to ensure that animals that were sick or dead were not allowed into Cross River.
“For those already in the state, livestock owners are advised to report any case of sick animals on their farms or at home to a Veterinary doctor or the department of veterinary services, nothing should be taken for granted.”
He explained that the obvious clinical signs of anthrax include dullness, going off feed, in a very short time; the animal becomes very sick and bleeds from its body openings without the blood clothing.
“Also, when the animal dies, its carcass does not become stiff; these are clear suspicions, but the final diagnosis is a laboratory examination which is done at the National Veterinary Research Institute, Vom, Plateau,” he added.

The cholera outbreak in Lagos State has claimed 24 lives, according to the State Commissioner for Health, Prof. Akin Abayomi. Abayomi disclosed this on his Instagram handle on Friday, adding that 35 cases have been confirmed out of 417 suspected cases across 20 Local Government Areas in the state.
The Commissioner urged residents to maintain personal and environmental hygiene, emphasizing that cholera can be prevented with proper sanitation and hygiene practices.
Cholera is a food and water-borne disease caused by ingesting the bacteria Vibrio cholerae, which can cause severe acute watery diarrhea and kill within hours if left untreated.
The World Health Organization has also reported a spike in cholera cases globally, with almost 195,000 cases and over 1,900 deaths reported in 24 countries since the start of 2024.
The Eastern Mediterranean Region has been the most affected, followed by the African Region, the Region of the Americas, the Southeast Asia Region, and the European Region.
