Following an investigation of suspected vesicular disease by Animal Health
on a holding near Guildford in Surrey, laboratory results on the evening of
Friday 3 August 2007 indicated the presence of the Foot and Mouth Disease

Veterinary Officer Debby Reynolds confirmed the presence of FMD on the
basis of the initial laboratory results.
