Spread of FMD in South Korea
« on: January 04, 2011, 02:20:08 PM »
South Korea's foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) has continued to spread through the central part of the country despite nationwide quarantine efforts, the government said Monday.

The farm ministry said a pig farm in Boryeong, 170 kilometers southwest of Seoul, tested positive for FMD, along with a cattle farm in Chuncheon, east of the capital city.

The outbreak in Boryeong marks the third time that the central province has reported an outbreak after the first case was confirmed there over the weekend.

Quarantine authorities said all 72 heads of cattle and 23,000 pigs have been ordered destroyed with other livestock within a 500-meter radius of both farms ordered culled and buried as a precautionary measure.

The latest FMD outbreak that began on Nov. 29 has spread through five provinces and Incheon city, the country's second-largest seaport.

There have been 79 confirmed cases and several other outbreaks that have not been officially counted because the animals were culled before the test results came in. Seoul has ordered the culling of over 662,000 animals so far with 452,000 livestock slated to receive vaccines. - pna

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
