GERMANY-LIVESTOCK-DISEASE

The carcass of a water buffalo is being removed by a tractor at a farm in Hoppegarten near Berlin, northeastern Germany, on January 10, 2025, after three cases of foot-and-mouth disease were reported - the country's first reported cases of the livestock disease since 1988. Foot-and-mouth disease is a highly contagious viral infection that is not dangerous to humans but which affects hooved animals and some other mammals including sheep and pigs. Symptoms include fever and blisters in the mouth and near the hoof. (Photo by Odd ANDERSEN / AFP) (Photo by ODD ANDERSEN/AFP via Getty Images)
