Brasília - The Ministry of Agriculture reports that outbreaks of foot and mouth disease have been confirmed in six locations in the state of Paraná. The ministry says it has reported the situation to international animal health authorities.

The locations where the disease has been confirmed were interdicted at the end of last year when the first cases were reported. It is estimated that some 4,500 heads of cattle are in the area.
