Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) stands as a highly contagious viral ailment impacting cloven-hoofed creatures like cattle, pigs, sheep, and goats. Rooted in the Picornaviridae family, the FMD virus triggers symptoms like fever and blister-like sores on the tongue, mouth, and hooves, causing lameness and a decline in milk production. The virus swiftly disseminates through direct contact, contaminated equipment, or airborne transmission, carrying severe economic consequences due to trade restrictions on affected nations. Preventive strategies encompass vaccination, stringent biosecurity measures, and swift detection via surveillance. Controlling the spread necessitates culling infected animals. Although FMD doesn't typically afflict humans, its impact on global livestock industries is considerable. Ongoing global initiatives concentrate on surveillance, vaccination initiatives, and preparedness planning to effectively manage and curb the spread of Foot and Mouth Disease.
