Wildlife Vulnerable To Canine Distemper Disease

This disease is currently prevalent in the Chobe District. When speaking to Monitor on Friday, Principal Wildlife Officer, Phemelo Gadimang said that there is nothing that can be done about the situation, as animal movement is not easy to control.  "We can only support the Veterinary Department to control the disease in the villages and hope that wild animals do not get infected," he said.

He however stressed that at the moment there are no reported cases of animals having the disease.
