Miyazaki clear of FMD outbreak
01/09/2010
Around 1,250 farms have been affected, but all have now been sufficiently disinfected, with livestock remains disposed of, to be completely free of the virus.
Since the discovery of the outbreak at the end of April, almost 290,000 head of cattle and pigs have been slaughtered and around 300 public events, including sporting events, have been cancelled.
