South Korea reports 14th case of foot-and-mouth disease in cattle, hindering FMD-free status bid.

South Korea has reported its 14th case of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) this year, discovered on a cattle farm in Yeongam county. FMD is a highly infectious viral disease affecting cloven-hoofed animals but poses no risk to human health. The latest case involves a farm with 31 cows, complicating South Korea's bid to be recognized as FMD-free by international health organizations.
