Epidemiological situation in the Republic of Srpska in 2024

Abstract

The Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Water Management of the Republic of Srpska, Veterinary Department, regularly monitors the occurrence and spread of infectious animal diseases based on data obtained from veterinary organizations, veterinary inspections, and veterinary specialist institutions. Special attention is given to diseases with rapid transmission potential, zoonoses, and diseases that negatively impact the country's economy. In order to implement the necessary measures, a series of regulations have been adopted to ensure the legal, high-quality, and timely execution of appropriate actions. Certain infectious animal diseases appear in our region to a greater or lesser extent throughout the year, some sporadically, while others persist for years. In 2024, in the territory of the Republic of Srpska, 58 outbreaks were reported, and 2,186 pigs were safely culled. Significant material and human resources were invested in preventing the spread and containment of this disease. Other reported diseases in 2024 include: one anthrax outbreak (two infected sheep), three Q fever outbreaks (21 infected sheep), 78 outbreaks of American foulbrood (533 infected bee colonies), 12 outbreaks of brucellosis in goats and sheep (96 infected animals), 17 outbreaks of bovine brucellosis (92 infected cattle), four outbreaks of equine infectious anemia (five infected equines), 11 outbreaks of leptospirosis (53 infected animals), nine outbreaks of trichinellosis (nine infected wild boars and one bear), four outbreaks of poultry salmonellosis (four infected poultry flocks), one outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 (30 infected swans), and other diseases. The aim of this paper is to present the occurrence of infectious diseases in the Republic of Srpska in 2024 and their spatial distribution, as well as to analyze collected reports in accordance with the Rulebook on the Method of Reporting Suspected Infectious Animal Diseases, the Procedure for Reporting and Deregistering Infectious Animal Diseases ("Official Gazette of the Republic of Srpska" No. 6/09), and other applicable regulations.
