Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD)

Foot and Mouth Disease continues to be a major concern for global animal health and trade. Its highly contagious nature, economic impact, and complex control dynamics make it a priority for national and international animal health organizations. While eradication remains a long-term goal, coordinated surveillance, strategic vaccination, and improved biosecurity are key to managing this disease. Ongoing research, international cooperation, and strong biosecurity measures and managment are essential to control and eventually eliminate FMD from endemic regions.
