Does killing or removal of animals infected with foot-and-mouth disease reduce the amount of airborne virus in looseboxes?
Killing or removing pigs infected with foot-and-mouth disease significantly reduces airborne virus, whereas removing cattle does not, highlighting species differences in airborne virus shedding and persistence.
Sellers et al. (1971) studied this question.
