Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) outbreaks and prevention efforts are being reported across multiple regions. In South Africa’s North West province, authorities have vaccinated over 1.3 million animals to manage 479 confirmed cases, with 333 cases remaining active as of mid-August 2026. Similarly, in Vietnam, the re-emergence of FMD serotype A in northern provinces has prompted quarantine measures, movement restrictions, and ring vaccination efforts.

In South Korea, Anseong City is preparing a mass vaccination campaign for approximately 95,000 livestock to prevent the introduction of the SAT 1 strain from neighboring countries. The campaign, scheduled for September 2026, involves administering both O+A type bivalent and SAT 1 type vaccines, with strict trade requirements for cattle that have not completed the necessary two-dose regimen.
