On February 5, 2025, Foot-And-Mouth Disease (FMD) was detected in sheep wool originating from Turkmenistan. This incident has been categorized under control measures due to the implications of bio-contaminants associated with the disease.
Foot-And-Mouth Disease is a viral disease that primarily affects livestock, including sheep, and can have significant economic impacts on the agricultural sector. The detection of FMD in sheep wool raises concerns regarding the safety and trade of wool products stemming from affected regions.
