FAO Urges To Heightened International Surveillance Against FMD WINDHOEK, April 29 (Bernama) -- The Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO) has urged heightened international surveillance against foot-and-mouth disease (FMD), following three recent incursions in Japan and South Korea with fears of possible spread to South Africa, United Kingdom and Europe.
Citing FAO's statement, Namibia Press Agency (Nampa) reported that in the past nine years, incursions into officially FMD-free countries (Japan and the Republic of Korea) have been extremely rare and such events in four months is a serious cause for concern.
The FAO's Chief Veterinary Officer Juan Lubroth was quoted as saying that the rigorous biosecurity measures in place in the two countries were overwhelmed and pointed to a recent, large-scale weight of infection in source areas, very probably in the Far East.
The 2001 FMD outbreak caused losses in billions of dollars to agriculture, livestock trade and tourism in the United Kingdom alone.
So far Japan has had to slaughter 385 animals - buffaloes, cattle and pigs - in its initial response to the outbreak, and the Republic of Korea has destroyed more than 3 500 animals, mostly pigs, in responding to its outbreaks.
According to the FAO, the routes taken by the virus have not been identified, but experts say it is possible the infection occurred through food waste, with pigs eating infected meat scraps. -- BERNAMA
