Reports of Foot-and-Mouth Disease Cases in Oroklini Farms

New cases of foot-and-mouth disease are reported in two additional farms in Oroklini, increasing the number of infected animals to 44. Farmers report that they proceeded with sampling on their own initiative and the results confirmed the presence of the virus. A vehicle went to the scene to collect dead animals. Farmers in the area complain about the lack of immediate response from the competent Services and the failure to take the necessary measures. Earlier, the director of Veterinary Services, Christodoulos Pipis, stated that the possibility of the transmission of the virus to a farm in Livadia being due to feed originating from the occupied territories is being investigated.
