News goes from bad to worse.
Foot and mouth and Legionnaires' probe at Pirbright
A 3km (1.8 mile) protection zone is in place around the affected farms
A reported case of Legionnaires' disease linked to the Pirbright laboratory site in Surrey is being investigated by officials. The Health Protection Agency confirmed that the probe related to the Institute of Animal Health, which is on the site.
The HPA says there is no link between foot-and-mouth and Legionnaires'.
Meanwhile, a government spokesperson has told the BBC that 362 animals have been culled at a third farm where foot-and-mouth is suspected. The Institute was carrying out all necessary maintenance and monitoring work .
The Health and Safety Executive has said there is a "strong probability" that the recent foot and mouth outbreak began at Pirbright.
