Implication

Documents scale of Japan's 2010 FMD outbreak; leaves open optimal vaccination deployment for future livestock epidemics.

Key Points

To document the characteristics, containment interventions, and outcomes of the 2010 foot-and-mouth disease re-emergence.
Tracked epidemiological records across 292 infected livestock farms during a 2.5-month transmission window in Japan.
Evaluated emergency disease control measures, including animal movement bans, mass culling and burial, and reactive vaccination.
The epidemic affected 292 farms and led to the culling of 37,400 cattle, 173,300 pigs, 42 water buffalos, 14 goats, and 8 sheep.
Emergency vaccination was deployed for the first time in Japan to curb transmission, followed by the slaughter of approximately 87,000 vaccinated animals.
Active transmission lasted 2.5 months, allowing movement bans on livestock to be eased 3 months after the initial case.
