According to the Provincial Border Guard Command, the anthrax epidemic in Laos is currently becoming more and more complicated. This is an acute infectious disease caused by anthrax (Bacillus – Antharacis). Anthrax includes forms such as cutaneous form (accounting for 95% of patients), septicemia form, gastrointestinal form, and pulmonary form. The reservoir of anthrax is usually herbivores. In soil, anthrax spores survive for a long time, even in harsh environments.

Anthrax is transmitted through many routes such as skin, mucous membranes, blood, digestion, and respiratory tract. The disease often causes large epidemics in animals and then spreads to humans. People who raise livestock, come into contact with fur, skin, and bones of animals, or those who slaughter and eat sick or dead animals are at risk of contracting anthrax.

In Laos, to date, there have been 121 cases of anthrax in Champasak and Salavan provinces; cases have been reported in the capital Vientiane and Bolikhamsai province. However, Laos has not issued any document prohibiting the transport of livestock and livestock products from infected areas to other areas or exporting them abroad.

Therefore, the Provincial Border Guard Command has directed units on the land border to strengthen patrols and strictly control the area, border, and border gates; promptly detect, prevent, and handle people and vehicles illegally entering and exiting the country, buying, selling, and transporting livestock and livestock products of unknown origin across the border.

The Provincial Border Guard Command requested the Provincial People's Committee to direct departments, branches and localities to closely monitor citizens traveling to, staying in or returning from Laos who show signs of illness related to eating food made from animals of unknown origin and dead animals; promptly notify cases showing signs of illness to the district health center and the Provincial Center for Disease Control for investigation and handling.
