The cattle disease, which is not transmissible to humans, has led to compulsory culls and vaccination orders in several regions since the first cases appeared in France on June 29.
Since then the ongoing outbreak has seen the disease appear in 111 areas across 75 farms in ten departments.
The highest numbers are in Haute-Savoie (44 outbreaks) and Savoie (32), followed by Pyrénées-Orientales (20) and Jura (7).
Single outbreaks have been confirmed in Ain, Rhône, Doubs, Ariège, Hautes-Pyrénées and Haute-Garonne.
The disease is classed as a Category A animal health threat under EU law - meaning it is not normally present in the Union and requires immediate eradication measures when detected.
As a result, France instructs the culling of an entire herd as soon as a single infected animal is confirmed.
In addition, the government has implemented strict containment measures, including 20km protection zones and 50km surveillance zones around infection sites in addition to vaccination orders in the wider area.
Within these areas, farms are subject to strict veterinary inspections and insect eradication procedures.
