Great Britain declared a BTV8 lower Risk Zone

Great Britain is now designated as a BTV8 Lower Risk Zone en route to re-establishing its BTV-free status. The island of Ireland is BTV-free and the European Continent is BTV8-infected.

Animals cannot move from the Infected Zone into the Lower Risk Zone unless they have been vaccinated using a licensed vaccine. 

Because there is no licensed vaccine for alpacas, and the very little chance the vaccine will ever be licensed, it is no longer possible to move alpacas from anywhere in mainland Europe into Britain. Nor is it possible to move alpacas from the GB into Europe and back again, even if they are vaccinated. 

It is still possible for animals coming in from other continents to transit through Europe under strict control. It is permitted for alpacas to move from GB to Europe.
