    European Union specialist on animal disease Alberto Ladomada has said that all data collected so far indicates that foot and mouth disease (FMD) virus type O is present in Cyprus, noting that available data does not indicate a major spread of the disease. Ladomada was speaking after a meeting at the Veterinary Services offices in Larnaca, presided over by Minister of Agriculture, Natural Resources and Environment Photis Photiou, with the participation of other experts.

    Ladomada said ``today we have reviewed the situation together with the veterinary authorities of Cyprus and we have looked into all the data that has been gathered by the laboratory here in Cyprus and by the community laboratory in Pirbright that indicate that foot and mouth disease virus type O is present in Cyprus.`` ``There are three sets of results that indicate that. We have also discussed how to continue to carry out surveillance in the area of Dromolaxia. There are a lot of activities ongoing here just to ensure that the disease can be controlled as quickly as possible,`` he added.

    He said ``the data that is available so far does not indicate a major spread of disease so far and this should induce us to be very vigorous in the quick implementation of disease control measures so that foot and mouth disease can be eradicated as quickly as possible.`` Replying to questions, Ladomada said ``we still do not know precisely if there is any relationship between what is happening here in Cyprus and what has happened in countries in the region like Egypt, it is too early to say that, so we cannot assume that there is any relationship between the foot and mouth in Egypt and what is happening in Cyprus.``
