The ministry also said Russia has banned imports of cattle and sheep, as well as their meat and meat products, from two Spanish provinces – Andalucia and Extremadura – due to an outbreak of the bluetongue virus, reported Reuters.
The EU announced in mid-October that it had restricted exports of cattle and sheep from some southern Spanish provinces after detecting bluetongue virus in a number of sentinel cattle in the Municipality of Jimena de la Frontera in the Province of Cadiz, on 13 October.
