GovWire

We monitor any major, notifiable or new and emerging animal disease outbreaks worldwide.

When we become aware of a new animal disease outbreak in the UK or another country, we may carry out a preliminary outbreak assessment, and we may update our assessments as new information becomes available or there is a change in the current situation.
