PRO/AH/EDR> Foot & mouth disease - China (12): (NM), serotype O, bovine

Foot and Mouth -- China
Some cows have been infected with O-type foot-and-mouth disease [FMD] in northern China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, with 36 diseased and 12 that succumbed to the sickness. The local government has culled 100 infected cows as well as those that had contact with them, and those slaughtered as a precaution have now been declared disease-free, thus bringing the local outbreak under effective control, per the statement.
