22 October 2010, Khiloli - A veterinarian tagging the ear of a sheep to indicate it has been vaccinated for brucellosis, an infectious disease found in livestock that can be transferred by their milk to humans.
FAO Project: OSRO/TAJ/901/EC - Enhancing individual incomes improving living standards in Khatlon and Sughd Regions, Tajikistan, through control of brucellosis in animals and humans. The overall objective of the project is to improve the incomes and living standards of the vulnerable people, particularly women and children, in Khatlon and southern Sughd Oblasts through improving delivery of health services, for both humans and livestock. Progressive brucellosis control in livestock and increasing prevention through awareness messages for people will directly contribute to these twin objectives.
