BUDAPEST (Reuters) - An infection of the deadly anthrax disease has been identified in sheep at a farm in Jaszladany, a village 120 kilometres east of Budapest, the agriculture ministry said on Monday.

Authorities found last week that one sheep in a herd of 210 heads died of anthrax, a disease which can spread to humans. The farm was placed under quarantine, the ministry said in a statement.
