Implication

Integrated FMD controls may outweigh vaccination alone; leaves open optimal strategies for endemic settings.

Structured PICO

P
Population
Pigs in the Philippines (specifically the Bicol surveillance buffer zone) affected by the foot and mouth disease (FMD) epidemic commencing in 1994
I
Intervention
National Plan for the Control and Eradication of FMD (including quarantine, animal movement controls, strategic vaccination, surveillance, and enhanced public awareness)
O
Outcome
Cessation of FMD outbreaks and achievement of FMD freedom

FMD eradication in the Philippines was likely driven by movement controls, surveillance, and public awareness rather than vaccination alone.
