HANOI (Reuters) - A province in southern Vietnam has banned the import of cows, buffaloes and their manure from neighboring Cambodia to help stop the spread of foot-and-mouth disease, state media reported on Wednesday.
The Long An provincial government also banned transportation of cattle from the border district of Duc Hue, 120 kilometers (75 miles) west of Ho Chi Minh City, after people sold fertilizer made from Cambodian cow dung to rubber plantations, the Tuoi Tre (Youth) newspaper said.
Many cattle imported from Cambodia into the Mekong delta-based province have been found to be infected with foot-and-mouth disease which has spread to the local cattle, the paper said.
Provincial officials could not be reached for comment.
Vietnam's Animal Health Department lists Long An as one of the 13 provinces still suffering from the highly contagious disease, which spreads among cattle and pigs but is not communicable to humans, since it re-surfaced in April.

Cambodia should ban 4 plus million illegal Viets immigrants in Cambodia for fearing FOOT-AND- MOUTH VIETS GRABBING CAMBODIAN'S LAND. CAMBODIA WOULD ALSO BAN THE FOOT-AND-TRANSPORT ILLEGAL VIETS IMMIGRANTS TO CAMBODIA ALL TOGETHER.
OR MAY BE SLOAR MA-JUE YUON!
Up until now, Sihanouk did not even believe it is true that 4 plus illegal Viets in Cambodia. He did not even believe that we lost a lot of land and maritime from having had his back-door King son sign that border treaty with Ah Viet.
WATCH OUT OUN BUN RANY, SIHANOUK IS SETTING HIS EYES ON YOU!
KAUN KHMER ARE WE GOING TO HAVE IT BACK?
THANKS
