Title
Activity Report of the Ecosystem Health Team in Wakhan, Afghanistan - September to November 2010
Author(s)
Noori, H., A. M. Rajabi and S. Ostrowski
Abstract
During the winter period of 2010, the WCS Ecosystem Health Team performed a mass Foot-and-Mouth disease vaccination program of yak and cattle in the Big and Small Pamirs, and along the Wakhan Valley in Badakhshan. Alongside this work, the team also collected blood samples from sheep, goats, yak and cattle in order to analyze exposure to brucellosis, and began the area's first ever bovine TB detection campaign. A livestock census survey was also conducted and this field report documents their results and findings.
