Requires incorporating preclinical FMDV transmission into spread models; leaves open validation for livestock control strategies.
Does exposure to FMDV-infected pigs during the incubation period result in transmission of the virus?
Foot-and-mouth disease virus can be transmitted during the incubation period, approximately 24 hours before the onset of clinical signs, which has important implications for outbreak modeling and control strategies.
Stenfeldt et al. (2016) studied this question.
