The Department of Agriculture - Bureau of Animal Industry (DA-BAI) confirmed on Friday, June 21, that cases of Q fever or query fever have been detected in goats in Sta. Cruz, Marinduque.

The agency said the animals were imported from the United States in January and were subjected to tests in March and April where 19 of them tested positive of the disease.

In a press conference, Dr. Christian Daquigan, the OIC-Chief of BAI-National Veterinary Quarantine Services Division explained that Q fever is caused by the bacteria Coxiella burnetii which naturally infects animals, particularly goats, sheep, and cows.

He described the bacteria as ‘zoonotic’ meaning it can infect humans and can cause flu-like symptoms like fever, fatigue, and muscle pain.

“The Bureau of Animal Industry (DA-BAI) is actively addressing detected cases of Q fever. Q fever is a zoonotic disease caused by the bacteria Coxiella burnetii and poses a public concern as it can be transmitted to humans through contact with infected animals by its excreta and its body fluids,” Daquigan said.

The official said BAI has depopulated the infected animals including those which have been exposed to them.

Also, the agency is conducting surveillance and monitoring in areas where the infected animals were delivered as well as the people who handled them for traces of infection.

So far, BAI has not detected any case of human infection yet from Q fever in the country. - MNP

It’s 𝗣𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗙𝗹𝗮𝗴 𝗗𝗮𝘆!

Today, we commemorate and honor the National Flag of our country. The national emblem was first unfurled after the Philippine Revolutionary Army defeated the Spanish forces in the Battle of Alapan at Imus, Cavite in 1898.

The Philippine Flag represents the identity of the Filipinos. It symbolizes unity and reminds us of our shared heritage and values, and our Flag is a powerful reminder of our ancestors’ struggle for independence and sovereignty.

There is no need to panic over the new wave of COVID-19 infection as this is just a normal increase in cases, infectious disease expert Dr. Rontgene Solante said on Thursday, May 24. https://tinyurl.com/2s3cub4y
