No new foot-and-mouth cases as culling and sampling continue, Georgiadou says

There are no new cases of foot-and-mouth disease, while culling and sampling are continuing without obstruction, veterinary services spokeswoman Sotiria Georgiadou said.

Georgiadou said the second round of vaccinations is expected to begin at the end of March, while vaccines for pigs are due to arrive in Cyprus by late March or early April. She also noted that the culling of cattle in Geri has been completed.

She clarified that current sampling does not detect antibodies from vaccinated animals.
