Key result
Recent improvements in diagnostic and genomic tools, alongside new vaccine platforms, have the potential to improve the control of foot and mouth disease when strategically deployed.
Why the study?
Foot and mouth disease is a highly contagious viral disease of cloven-hoofed animals whose control requires political commitment, sustained investment, and deployment of resources to break the cycle of infection.
Recent improvements in diagnostic tools and vaccine platforms have the potential to improve global control of foot and mouth disease.
