Concerns over Foot-and-Mouth Disease at Farm in Limassol
May 20, 2026
The detection of foot-and-mouth disease in the Limassol area has raised concerns. The Director General of the Ministry of Agriculture, Andreas Gregoriou, emphasized that the virus was not transferred by itself and urged farmers to adhere to strict biosecurity measures. In an effort to contain the outbreak, infected animals will be immediately killed. The farm is not located in a high-density area of other farms, and there are two cases of traditional breed animals that have fallen ill but have not been culled.
