Description: The geographical area affected by foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) outbreaks in 2007. The location of premises and holdings are shown (red circles, clinical signs confirmed by laboratory analysis; yellow circles, FMDV detected using laboratory assays in the absence of clinical disease; and ⊗, additional holdings associated with FMD infected premises with no evidence of infection). The shaded areas denote the extent of the 5km protection zones and 10 km surveillance zones established (blue and green representing outbreaks in August and September respectively). The map also shows major towns and motorways in the region and the location of the Pirbright site (star).
