If it's not the place from which there was a spread, yes, then centre sounds excellent. Focus hints at there being several locations in addition to a centre.

Outbreak is better than epidemic for a small section of a herd.

Note from asker:
je me demande si outbreak centre serait pas mieux, en combinant tes suggestions?? |
je crois que epidemic centre ou même focus serait mieux, il s'agit de quelques bêtes malades ici et là, qu'en pesnes-tu? |
it is really localized, a few cattle only |

: Centre of outbreak ? See eg http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2007/aug/06/immigrationpo... - "outbreak centre" might suggest the State unit dealing with it ?

: actually the correct term is epizootic in animals - focus is also correct and has no connotation of several locations/yes, there are cases of disease elsewhere, but the focus is where the epidemic started and from where it spread

I was trying to say, albeit clumsily, if there's a focus of an outbreak there would normally be others less focussed/concentrated in one place.

centre of the epidemic
IATE definition + It also seems to me to be more natural English. It's what you'd hear on a news report for example.

outbreak
After much reflection (and quite a bit of research), I would just use "outbreak" on its own. Forget about centre, source or focus. More context would have been helpful.

: agree-context is sorely lacking, as is Asker's own solution /kudoz used to be wonderful place for learning and seeing great discussions amongst real pros in the various field. and for learning by researching really challenging questions. sigh.

Abstract: Bluetongue virus (BTV) exists around the world in a broad band covering much of the Americas, Africa, southern Asia and northern Australia. Historically, it also occasionally occurred in the southern fringes of Europe. It is considered to be one of the most important diseases of domestic livestock. Recently BTV has extended its range northwards into areas of Europe never before affected and has persisted in many of these locations causing the greatest epizootic of bluetongue (BT), the disease caused by BTV, on record. Indeed, the most recent outbreaks of BT in Europe are further north than this virus has ever previously occurred anywhere in the world. The reasons for this dramatic change in BT epidemiology are complex but are linked to recent extensions in the distribution of its major vector, Culicoides imicola, to the involvement of novel Culicoides vector(s) and to on-going climate-change. This paper investigates these recent outbreaks in the European theatre, up to the beginning of 2006, highlights prospects for the future and sets the scene for the following papers in this special issue.

Discussion
However, the choice remains between "epidemic source" and "outbreak source" : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epidemic

How widespread is this outbreak, Catherine ?
