An outbreak of Foot-and-Mouth Disease has been reported in Slovakia in domestic cattle for the first time in 50 years. Cases have been detected in three farms located in the southern part of the country. This is the third case in the EU in 2025 after the outbreaks in Germany in January and in Hungary in March. Restriction zones have been set up around the farms. The identification of the serotype is pending.
