In Mongoliaa case of over bubonic was confirmed on Tuesday at Ulaanbaatar, the Mongolian capital, according to the country’s National Center for Zoonotic Diseases (NCZD). The infected man ate groundhog meat last week, the NCZD said, adding that he and five other people in close contact with him are currently being isolated and treated. Although groundhog hunting is illegal in Mongolia, many Mongolians consider this rodent a delicacy and ignore the law.
According to the results of recent studies, 137 outbreaks of natural plague have been discovered in 17 of the country’s 21 provinces.
Recommendations for travelers:
Travelers to endemic foci should:
avoid contact with rodents, and with sick or dead animals; protect yourself from flea bites with skin repellents; do not camp near rodent nests or burrows, =; if you are a hunter, wear gloves when handling the prey.
In the event of contact with a plague patient who is coughing, a doctor should be consulted as soon as possible, who will prescribe antibiotic prophylaxis.
