Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>The Department of Veterinary Services (DVS) says it has developed a new vaccine for the deadly cattle disease, Theileriosis, also known as the January Disease.<\/p>\n

In a statement, DVS revealed that the first batch of 20 460 doses of Theileriosis (BOLVAC) vaccine was produced on 20 August. It said:<\/p>\n

DVS has been processing Anaplasmosis and Babesiosis vaccines but had no capacity to produce Theileriosis (BOLVAC).<\/p>\n

After receiving financial support from the government and development partners DVS managed to produce the first batch of 20 460 doses of the Theileriosis (BOLVAC) vaccine on August 20, 2022.<\/p>\n

This is a major breakthrough because Zimbabwe can now produce vaccines against three out of four major TBD prevalent in Zimbabwe.<\/p>\n

With such capacity, the country is now ready to roll out its Integrated Ticks and Tick-borne Disease Control Strategy.<\/p>\n

There are four major tick-borne diseases in Zimbabwe namely Anaplasmosis (Gallsickness), Babesiosis (Redwater), Theileriosis (January Disease) and Heartwater.<\/p>\n

In an interview with NewsDay, DVS chief director Josphat Nyika said that the next step is to increase production to hundreds of thousands of doses to cater for local demand.<\/p>\n

He added that the 20 000 doses are ready for the market and will be available at various outlets.<\/p>\n

According to the First Round Crop and Livestock assessment conducted by the Lands, Agriculture, Fisheries, Water and Rural Development ministry for the 2021\/22 agricultural season, the four tick-borne diseases contribute 73% of total cattle mortalities with 18 000 cattle deaths recorded in 2021 and 64 086 cattle mortalities in 2020.<\/p>\n

The areas worst affected by January Disease include Goromonzi, Chivhu, Bindura, Buhera, Hwedza, Gutu and Mhondoro-Ngezi among the 25 districts recording tick diseases in the country.<\/p>\n
