flag Foot-and-mouth disease spreads to 11 Cyprus farms, triggering culls, vaccinations, and export controls.

flag Foot-and-mouth disease has spread to 11 farms in southern Cyprus, prompting mass culling of over 13,000 animals and a large-scale vaccination campaign. flag EU experts are assisting with initial vaccinations using 10,000 doses from the Turkish Cypriot north, with over 500,000 more expected from the European Commission. flag A 3-kilometer exclusion zone is in place, with disinfection protocols for vehicles and expanded efforts under consideration. flag The outbreak, possibly linked to illegal activities from the north, threatens Cyprus’s $236 million halloumi cheese exports, though officials confirm meat and dairy remain safe and exports continue under strict controls. flag President Nikos Christodoulides pledged support and compensation for farmers.
