# SANParks confirmed a foot-and-mouth disease outbreak among kudu in Addo Elephant National Park in the Eastern Cape. Spokesperson JP Louw says surveillance detected lameness among the animals. Initial tests were negative, but a second set of tests returned positive. No other wildlife species is showing clinical signs. Louw says the positive result does not establish the source or link to other outbreaks in the province. Biosecurity controls have been strengthened, including vehicle disinfection. Louw says no cloven-hoofed animals may enter or leave the park without veterinary authorization.
