Sindh livestock authorities on Saturday confirmed that consumption of sheep imported from Australia was injurious to health. According to officials, random blood and mouth tissue samples of the sheep have tested positive for the disease. “The veterinary diagnostic laboratories in Islamabad and Tando Jam tested the blood samples of at least 80 sheep and the mouth tissue of nine of them”, an official added. The authorities warned that the contagion was infecting other cattle as well, which could lead to an outbreak of the disease.
