MUKDAHAN- Health authorities in this northeast province have refute reports that a next person has died in Don Tan area from anthrax-related illness.
The municipal public health department stated on its Facebook page on Saturday afternoon that the number of anthrax murders remained at one. It refuted TV information that the illness had claimed three life.
A local animal official who claimed a second person had died was earlier cited by different media.
Three suspected disease cases have been identified, according to the public health department. Just one suspected case is currently receiving treatment at Mukdahan Hospital, according to PCR testing that affirmed that two people were never infected.  ,
Thailand’s first anthrax-related dying in more than 30 years was the first mortality, according to a report on Wednesday. Leaders in the field of animal and common health have been working to stop the pandemic, which has been linked to animals in the area.
638 people who have been identified as being at risk of exposure have been given medicines. 36 members of this group were involved in the killing of suspected meat, and 472 are alleged to have consumed meat that was probably contaminated with Bacillus pyogenes.
Officials on Saturday vaccinated 124 more animals, bringing the total number of vaccinated animals to 1, 222, or roughly half of the cattle population that has been quarantined. Within a five-kilometer circle of the outbreak’s potential nature, all the animals can be found.
Anthrax does not spread to people, but only from individuals to sick animals.
The Don Tan area, which is located just across the Mekong River from Laos and where lots of bacillus infections were reported last year, has been designated a disease control area.
As part of broader illness control measures, decontamination efforts are being pursued, along with animal health records inspections, according to Mr. Adichat.
Local meat suppliers are concerned about declining sales as a result of the confirmed cases.
