Britain's summer problems with foot and mouth disease appear to be continuing. Nigel Williams reports. The UK farming industry was just recovering from the devastating news of confirmed foot and mouth disease in August, which appeared to have been the result of a leak of virus from a research laboratory and vaccine production facility. The disease appeared to have been eradicated when a new case was discovered in September, just a week after the government had declared the all-clear. The new case was found just a few kilometres from the scene of August's outbreak, which is estimated to have cost the agricultural industry £50 million. The restrictions on the movement of and slaughter of animals, imposed after the first outbreak, were swiftly reinstated creating further problems for livestock farmers across the country. But researchers quickly established that the strain of virus in the new outbreak was the same as that of last month's cases, which was linked to a strain used at the Institute for Animal Health research laboratory and a commercial vaccine facility nearby at Pirbright south-west of London. The report into that outbreak suggested that a damaged drainage pipe from the laboratory could have led to the release of infectious virus into the environment. Further studies were immediately under way to determine whether the new virus infection was from this original lab strain or whether another leak of virus had occurred. The government said it had waited 30 days after confirming the last known case of the disease before giving the all-clear, as required under European Union guidelines. Foot and mouth disease virus has an incubation period of between two and 14 days in animals. But it can survive for up to 50 days in water and can be transferred by tractors and other vehicles. Sheep can also be a problem as they can contract the virus but show few symptoms. Investigators will now focus on whether the virus could have been spread by vehicles from the Pirbright site, as suspected in last month's cases. But the lab has kept no records of vehicle movements, hampering the investigations. There are also some worries that the lab virus strain, might be a weakened strain for vaccine production, and, therefore, showing slower or less obvious signs of infection in animals. Farmers will now be seeking greater assurance, if this outbreak is confined to the cases identified so far, that the apparent leakage from the laboratory has finally been completely cleared up." @default.
