Contiguous culling may aid FMD outbreak control; leaves open prospective validation beyond modeling.
Rapid and decisive intervention, including early national movement bans and contiguous culling, is vital for controlling foot-and-mouth disease outbreaks.
Mark Woolhouse (2003) studied Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD). Neighbourhood control measures (contiguous cull) vs. 'Traditional' methods / reactive vaccination was evaluated on Epidemic control and net saving of livestock. Neighbourhood control measures (the contiguous cull) were modeled to bring the 2001 UK foot-and-mouth disease epidemic under control and result in a net saving of livestock.
