Sapa stick

Sapa bacillus, more commonly known as lip bulge, is an infection that causes blisters, hard small areas, and other symptoms. In Russia it is also called vesicular smallpox, since this infection was similar to ordinary smallpox. However, it is not transmitted from person to person and does not cause significant consequences. The Sapa bacillus infects other people only because they have a weakened immune system.

The infection can also infect animals, mainly rodents, but also sometimes guinea pigs and rabbits. It is also very rarely found in livestock. Only a doctor can make a diagnosis. The most effective control measure is disinfection, including a killed glanders stick. Disinfection of lesions is carried out with carbolic acid, iodosalicylic mixture and chloramine. To defecate cells, the sticks are treated with weak alkalis that are easily washed off with water. Also
