Key result
Foot and mouth disease remains a highly contagious and economically devastating viral disease of cloven-hoofed animals that requires continuous epidemiological monitoring and effective vaccination for control.
This review summarizes the economic impact, epidemiology, and control strategies for Foot and Mouth Disease in animal agriculture.
Sustained surveillance and vaccination programs remain essential in livestock; leaves open optimal strategies amid evolving viral strains.
Foot and mouth disease (FMD) is one of the most economically and socially devastating disease affecting animal agriculture throughout the world. This review describes economic impact of disease outbreaks, an update of recent findings in epidemiology of FMD both at International and national level and control of this disease. The etiological agent (FMD virus) is examined in detail at genetic and molecular characterization level and in terms of antigenic diversity.
