Details

These outbreak assessments detail reports of foot and mouth disease (FMD) in China.

We monitor any major, notifiable or new and emerging animal disease outbreaks worldwide. When we become aware of a new animal disease outbreak in the UK or another country, we may carry out a preliminary outbreak assessment.

Read our foot and mouth disease guidance for information about how to spot the disease, what to do if you suspect it and measures to prevent it.
