Liberian woman dies from Ebola
ebola
Since the Ebola epidemic began in December 2013, it has claimed more than 11,200 lives.

Sixth confirmed case since the virus resurfaced

Liberia has confirmed the sixth known case of Ebola since it re-emerged last month, Reuters has reported.

A Liberian woman died of the virus in a hospital in Monrovia, Montserrado County, just a few hours after she was admitted.

It is believed the case is linked to five other cases in the neighbouring Margibi County. This has sparked fears that the virus is spreading into a new part of the country.

Liberia's chief medical officer Dr Francis Ketteh told Reuters: "There is one new case. This time, the response area is Montserrado County. The person died in Monrovia."

Since the Ebola epidemic began in December 2013, it has claimed more than 11,200 lives. After being declared Ebola-free on 9 May, Liberia reported another new case nearly two months later.

BVA urges 'continued vigilance' over bluetongue

The British Veterinary Association (BVA) has urged vigilance following a concerning rise in Bluetongue (BTV) cases in sheep and cattle.

In a recent statement, the BVA noted that members are reporting more severe clinical signs and higher mortality rates than in previous years.

'We know that farm vets are working hard to support farmers and animals affected by this outbreak, during what is an extremely difficult time for all involved,' they stated. 'Continued vigilance to identify disease early is vital and vaccination remains the best way of protecting animals from this disease.'
