"The UK has banned imports of cattle, pigs, and sheep from Germany to prevent the spread of foot-and-mouth disease. The disease causes fever and mouth blisters in cloven-hoofed ruminants such as cattle, swine, sheep, and goats. The ban follows a confirmed case of the disease in a herd of water buffalo in Honow, Berlin. The UK government stated that the disease poses no risk to human health or food safety."
