2007 UK foot-and-mouth outbreak
Main article: 2007 United Kingdom foot-and-mouth outbreak
An outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease in the United Kingdom was confirmed by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, on 3 August 2007, at a farm located between Wyke and Flexford in Surrey England.[1][2] All livestock on the premises were culled on 4 August. A nationwide ban on the movement of cattle and pigs has been imposed, with a three kilometre protection zone currently in place around the affected farm and a further ten kilometre zone of cattle surveillance. Other potential cases are being investigated.[3]
On the 4 August the strain of the virus was identified as one linked to vaccines and not normally found in animals, described as a 01 BFS67 – like virus, isolated in the 1967 outbreak.[4] It is the same strain as used at the nearby Institute for Animal Health and Merial Animal Health Ltd at Pirbright, 2½ miles (4 km) away which was named as a possible source of infection.
