An outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease has led to border closures and cattle culling.

According to the Associated Press, the outbreak was initially discovered in early March on a cattle farm in northwestern Hungary.

Animals on three farms in Slovakia also tested positive for foot-and-mouth disease about two weeks later.

The Slovakian government closed 16 of their common borders, the AP reported.

Austria shut down 23 of its border crossings with Hungary and Slovakia.
