September 29, 2026
The European Commission suggests declaring foot-and-mouth disease in three farms in Cyprus, focusing on the areas of Avgorou and Pentakomo. The director of the Veterinary Services will make the final decision regarding the situation of positive cases in local sheep and goat herds. Despite the absence of clinical symptoms, blood serum indicates the presence of the virus. The Commission's veterinarians praised the cooperation with their Cypriot counterparts. Further testing is expected for managing the situation.
