Zambia has suspended livestock imports from South Africa following a foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) outbreak in South African cattle, prompting regional biosecurity and trade concerns. South African authorities are intensifying their response with an extensive vaccination campaign, including the deployment of hundreds of thousands to one million vaccine doses, to contain the outbreak and limit economic damage to rural communities and the livestock sector. The measures highlight vulnerabilities in regional animal health systems and the potential for knock-on effects on cross-border trade and meat supply chains in Southern Africa.
