Other Human Disease -- Turkmenistan
In March [2019?], camels in Turkmenistan's western Balkan Province started dying off. Officials did not say anything about the cause. Locals thought it was from smallpox.
Balkan residents believed it was smallpox because in October 2018, the disease struck hard, killing camels but also spreading to people, several of whom were admitted to hospitals and treated for the virus.
