Key result
Shorter distance to the nearest infectious seed, county, mixed species, holding surface area, and number of cattle within 10km were significant risk factors for FMD susceptibility (all p<0.001).

Holdings at greatest risk of foot and mouth disease infection can be identified using simple readily available risk factors, which could be employed in the control of future epidemics.

Holdings at greatest risk of foot and mouth disease infection can be identified using simple readily available risk factors, which could be employed in the control of future epidemics.
Bessell et al. (2009) conducted an observational in Foot and mouth disease (FMD). Risk factors (distance to infectious seed, county, mixed species, surface area, cattle density) was evaluated on Susceptibility of holdings to foot and mouth disease (p=<0.001). Shorter distance to the nearest infectious seed, county, mixed species, holding surface area, and number of cattle within 10km were significant risk factors for FMD susceptibility (all p<0.001).
