If a FMD case were to be identified in Ireland, the infected herd would be culled, the site disinfected, and a 3km protection zone and 10km surveillance zone set up, within which very strict movement controls and testing would be imposed. Foot and mouth disease is caused by a virus that infects cattle, sheep, goats, swine and other cloven-hoofed animals.
