The Brits have another confirmed foot-and-mouth outbreak:
Cattle at a farm in Surrey have been found to be infected with foot-and-mouth disease.
Some 60 animals on the farm near Guildford have tested positive for the disease which wreaked havoc in 2001.
A 3km protection zone has been put in place around the premises and a UK ban imposed on movement of all livestock.
[...]
In accordance with legislation, all cattle on the Surrey premises will be culled, said a government spokesman.

As well as the 3km protection zone, there is also a 10km surveillance zone where nearby animals are monitored.The outbreak in 2001 led to between 6.5 million and 10 million animals being destroyed and cost as much as £8.5bn (about $17.4 billion). Many farms and other rural businesses were ruined.
