Bashkir Trans-Urals Reimposes Rabies Quarantine
A rabies quarantine has been reimposed in a village in the Bashkir Trans-Urals. This is the second case in Baymaksky District. This time, the infection source is at a local farmer«s household.
The quarantine was imposed in the village of Semyonovo, located 65 kilometers from Baymak, with a population of about 200 people. According to a decree by the head of Bashkiria, the outbreak is at the farm of local farmer Rishat Aminev.
Under the document, no treatment of animals is allowed at his home, and outsiders, except for veterinary specialists and other personnel, are prohibited from entering. It is forbidden to bring in or remove animals vaccinated against rabies less than 179 days ago, and the removal of hides from animals susceptible to infection is banned.
For the next 10 days, veterinarians will monitor the livestock, including dogs, cats, and cattle. They will need to determine the cause and source of the disease and then take measures to eliminate them.
According to Kontur.Focus, Rishat Aminev«s peasant farm enterprise was registered in Baymaksky District in 2016, engaged in breeding horses, dairy cattle, sheep, goats, rabbits, and other animals. He also grows grain and vegetables and processes meat.
In its first year of operation, the farm supplied beef to Burzyanskaya Hospital but did not participate in government procurement afterward.
In addition, Aminev has an agricultural cooperative operating since 2022, which raises poultry for agriculture. Revenue for 2024 totaled 2.8 million rubles (approximately $31,100 at current rates), with a loss of 34 thousand rubles ($378 at current rates). In 2025, the cooperative received state support of 1.5 million rubles ($16,700 at current rates).
Earlier, quarantine was imposed in the village of Yangazino in the same Baymaksky District, but the two settlements are 110 kilometers apart.
In early January, while the holidays were still ongoing, a rabid lynx entered a children«s camp near Ufa and bit a child on the head. The victim survived and began treatment on time; the wild animal died on the spot. It later emerged that the camp was unguarded at the time of the incident—the contract for the New Year holidays had simply not been signed.
