In Russia, anger is growing among farmers in several regions who have had their livestock herds seized and slaughtered against their will. The farmers claim they have not been shown the results of tests taken to determine what disease the animals have contracted. At roadblocks set up near some villages, vehicle wheels are being disinfected, which strengthens suspicions that it is a highly contagious disease.
Epidemiologist Mikhail Favórov says it must be the highly contagious foot-and-mouth disease virus that has led to farmers having their animals confiscated in Russia.
