Key result
Most of the territory (87.45%) and susceptible herd (82.17%) in Goiás state were classified at low risk for foot-and-mouth disease occurrence, with herd density and animal movement driving higher risk.
Why the study?
Countries are beginning the stage of eradicating foot-and-mouth disease involving suspending vaccinations, requiring risk classification to support decision-making.
Population

Rt estimates from historical outbreaks inform surveillance in FMD-free zones; leaves open optimal control strategies pending prospective validation.
Observational (n=126,345)
A multicriteria analysis model identified that most municipalities in Goiás State have a low risk of FMD occurrence, providing a tool for decision-making in FMD eradication.
Bosso et al. (2023) conducted an observational in Foot-and-mouth disease (n=126,345). Risk factors for FMD introduction and dissemination was evaluated on FMD occurrence likelihood score. Most of the territory (87.45%) and susceptible herd (82.17%) in Goiás state were classified at low risk for foot-and-mouth disease occurrence, with herd density and animal movement driving higher risk.
