Greek Farmers Grapple with Goat Plague After Devastating Floods

The highly contagious virus threatens livestock as farmers continue to recover from last year's severe flooding in Thessaly.

Goat plague, also known as Peste des Petits Ruminants (PPR), was detected in Greece for the first time last month.
The virus does not infect humans but can kill up to 70% of infected goats and sheep.
The Greek government has imposed a temporary ban on the movement and slaughter of sheep and goats to contain the outbreak.
Farmers, already struggling from last year's floods, face additional costs for disinfectants and stricter hygiene measures.
Authorities are considering compensation for affected farmers as they work to control the disease's spread.
