     Three more cattle farms in Andong,North Gyeongsang Province,were found to have been infected

with the deadly foot-and-mouth disease,Nov. 2 2010,Thursday. People fear that livestock farms in other

parts of the country could be hit by the virus soon.

     On Monday,the disease was first detected on two pig farms in Andong,about half a year after the last

disease broke out in Korea. A cattle farm in the area also fell victim to the animal disease the following

day.  

The Ministry for Food,Agriculture,Forestry and Fisheries made sure that three more cases of

foot-and-mouth disease appeared on Thursday and decided to kill all the animals at the farms and others

at nearby places to stop the spread of the virus to other regions. Over 800 cows and pigs within a 500

meter range of the infected farms were killed and buried underground.  

     "Three suspected cases were reported Wednesday,near the pig farms where the first outbreak was

reported. The laboratory tests today showed that all three cattle farms were infected with the disease,"

a ministry official said. Two newly infected cattle farms were less than 4 kilometers away from the two

pig farms,while the third one was only 2. 5 kilometers away.  

     The ministry also said another cattle farm in Andong reported suspected cases of foot-and-mouth

disease on its livestock Thursday,indicating the disease will likely continue to spread across the city and

possibly beyond.  

     The government has culled more than 33,000 animals near the affected farms Monday alone under its

disease prevention program. Additionally,all 84 livestock markets across the nation were closed

Wednesday for a period to prevent spread of the disease.

     No suspected cases have been reported outside of Andong,but the government Thursday decided to

destroy an additional 22,000 pigs at two farms in Boryeong,South Chungcheong Province.
