South Korea has detected foot-and-mouth in a southwestern hog farm, the first such discovery in nine months and a blow to authorities pushing to contain the disease. The case involved a type of the disease that animals are inoculated against in South Korea, with all 670 hogs at the infected farm in the city of Gimje, about 200 kilometers (125 miles) southwest of Seoul to be slaughtered, said an agriculture ministry official. Another official at the ministry confirmed the new discovery of foot-and-mouth, without giving details.
