Third rabies outbreak in Ungheni district in two weeks: restrictions in Costuleni

A case of rabies has been confirmed in the village of Costuleni, Ungheni district — the third outbreak in the district after Rezina and Măgurele, in less than two weeks. Decision No. 1/E of 11 August, the first of the newly established crisis-management commission, approved a plan of 14 anti-epizootic measures: a census of animals within five days, a halt to the movement of animals in the village for 30 days, emergency vaccination and stepped-up hunting of foxes and jackals. The restrictions lift 30 days after the last case. Rabies vaccination of dogs and cats remains compulsory across the district, and any bite means a trip to the doctor the same day — the prophylaxis is free.

Second rabies outbreak in Ungheni district in a week: confirmed case in Măgurele

A week after the village of Rezina, the Emergency Situations Commission of Ungheni district has imposed restrictions in Măgurele as well. Through Decision No. 11/E of 6 August, the commission approved a plan of anti-epizootic measures, after the Territorial Subdivision for Food Safety confirmed, on 4 August, a case of rabies in the village. The measures are of the same type as those in Rezina — the sale and movement of animals within the locality stop, animals are vaccinated as a matter of necessity, and the restrictions are lifted 30 days after the last case. The decision does not specify the species of the infected animal. Anti-rabies vaccination of dogs, cats and ferrets remains mandatory throughout the district, and any bite means a trip to the doctor the same day — the prophylaxis is free.

Rabies confirmed in Rezina, Ungheni district: animal sales banned in the village for 30 days after the last case

On 30 July the Emergency Situations Commission of the Ungheni district approved a 16-point anti-epizootic plan, after the Territorial Subdivision for Food Safety (Subdiviziunea Teritorială pentru Siguranța Alimentelor) confirmed a case of rabies in the village of Rezina, Mănoilești commune. Collecting and selling animals on the village's territory is banned, the movement of animals is halted, and every animal in the village's households is to be counted within five days. The restrictions lift 30 days after the last case — not 30 days after the decision. The act does not state the species of the infected animal; it became public only on 4 August, in a bulletin of the National Food Safety Agency — a dog. In 2025 the Ungheni district recorded four rabies cases — in the public health agency's list, right after Hîncești, with ten. Post-exposure prophylaxis — after a bite, a scratch or contact with saliva — is free.

Moldova's National Food Safety Agency (ANSA) has ordered the recall of a batch of eggs produced by DANT-AGRO LLC in the village of Pârlița, Ungheni district, after Salmonella Typhimurium was detected in samples from the farm's laying hens. Consumers are urged not to eat eggs marked 3MD UN 015 with a best-before date up to and including 20 July 2026, and to return them to the shop with their receipt.
