Zoos across India alerted over possible outbreak of disease
The Central Zoo Authority has alerted all zoos across the country to take preventive measures to avert a possible outbreak of Trypanosomiasis. Trypanosomiasis is a protozoan disease that has, in the past, killed more than a dozen tigers and leopards in Indian zoos. The authorities have advised zoos to improve the hygiene of animal enclosures and its surroundings.
