Disease

Foot and Mouth Disease - Taiwan

Foot-and-mouth disease has been found on a Kinmen County cattle farm, the Council of Agriculture (COA) said yesterday, adding that all infected cattle have been euthanized. The council said the virus might have originated in China, as the strain detected is a 99 percent match to that found in China’s Guangdong Province in 2013. Council officials said it is the first time that strain has been found in Taiwan.
