Book (stand-alone)The global foot and mouth disease control strategy
Strengthening animal health systems through improved control of major diseases
2012Also available in:
No results found.Diseases are among the most significant limiting factors for livestock production. Their impact can vary from reduced productivity and restricted market access to the elimination of entire flocks or herds, with the resultant loss of biodiversity and valuable genetic resources.Foot and mouth disease (FMD) is an eminent transboundary animal disease (TAD), severely affecting the production of livestock and disrupting regional and international trade in animals and animal products. In develo ping countries the adverse effects of FMD are often underestimated. The disease undermines food security and economic development, both at the level of village smallholders and the more organised production chains supplying urban and export markets. In some regions, in particular is southern Africa, the impact of FMD control measures on wildlife conservation has become an important consideration... -
ProjectEmergency Technical Assistance to Mitigate the Impact of Foot-and-Mouth Disease in Jordan - TCP/JOR/3808 2023
Also available in:
No results found.In the Middle East, the presence of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) has significantly hindered the growth of the dairy industry and sheep flocks. A highly contagious viral disease that severely affects livestock, FMD can lead to substantial economic impacts and as a transboundary animal disease (TAD), it profoundly affects livestock production and disrupts regional and international trade involving animals and animal products. While the morbidity rate in susceptible animals can reach nearly 100 percent, the disease is typically non-fatal except for young animals. Nonetheless, the economic impact is substantial due to the loss of milk production in the two months following the onset of clinical signs. Jordan has experienced multiple outbreaks of FMD that impact sheep and cattle in seven governorates, namely Amman, Irbid, Karak, Madaba, Jordan Valley, Mafraq and Zarqa. The morbidity rate of FMD in sheep and cattle, as determined by PCR testing, varied between 16 percent and 100 percent. These circumstances have resulted in both direct losses, such as reduced production, fertility and changes in herd structure, as well as indirect losses due to the costs of FMD control and limited market access. -
Book (stand-alone)The European Commission for the Control of Foot-and-Mouth Disease Workplans – Phase V Second biennium 2021–2023
A Europe secure from the threat of foot-and-mouth disease and similar transboundary animal diseases
2021Also available in:
No results found.Foot-and-mouth Disease (FMD) remains the first transboundary animal disease (TAD) threat to European livestock production. A single introduction usually has extremely serious, and frequently catastrophic, impacts. The European Commission for the Control of Foot-and-Mouth Disease (EuFMD), under a framework of co-ordination with EC (DG-SANTE), FAO and OIE, as played a significant role in reducing the risk and ensuring better preparedness. Partly as a result of this, the EU has not had, for the first time in its history, an outbreak of FMD case for the past ten years. In this time the EuFMD has established an internationally respected capacity for efficient delivery of training and in-country support to FMD Progressive Control Programmes, and most recently, in modelling of FMD control measures to guide emergency planning. The HOLD-FAST strategy continues the focus upon FMD risk reduction but extends the scope of the preparedness and risk reduction activities to similar TADs which pose an immediate threat to the Member Nations (hereafter FAST is used for FMD and similar TADs).
