    FAO alerts countries in the Near East and West Eurasia to enhance preparedness for foot-and-mouth disease 2025
    Also available in:
    FAO is recommending urgent biosecurity measures and enhanced surveillance following the recent detection of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) serotype SAT1 in the Near East. This serotype is exotic to the region, raising serious concerns about the potential spread of the virus within the Near East and to West Eurasia. The most important and immediate risks for FMD virus spread are associated with animal movements: intensified trade and movement of livestock; transhumance of ruminants to summer pastures; and international and national trading of animals, especially with mixing of animals at live animal markets, holding areas, and during transport. FAO urges countries to increase awareness, strengthen biosecurity, and improve preparedness at national, subnational, and community levels to safeguard livestock and livelihoods. Specific recommendations are described within the alert. Until livestock populations are immunized with a suitable SAT1 vaccine, only rapid and effective biosecurity measures can limit the spread of the SAT1 virus.
