Reduces concern for persistent wildlife reservoirs post-outbreak; confirms livestock-focused control as priority in similar settings.
Wildlife populations in Thrace are unlikely to maintain FMD long-term without domestic host infection, though limited spread can occur.
Dhollander et al. (2014) studied Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD). FMDV infection was evaluated on Spread and maintenance of FMDV infection. Wildlife populations in Thrace are unlikely to maintain foot-and-mouth disease virus in the long term without infection in domestic hosts, though limited spatial and temporal spread can occur.
