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... -

Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetThe global foot and mouth disease control strategy 2018
Also available in:
No results found.Foot and mouth disease (FMD) is one of the most contagious transboundary animal diseases (TADs). FMD is still widespread throughout the world. It still occurs in large parts of Africa, the Middle East and Asia and the countries that are free of FMD today remains under constant threat of an incursion. The disease is well-known for its ability to severely affect and indeed disrupt regional and international trade in animals and animal products. It is also notorious for the enormous financial damage it can cause in FMD-free countries hit by an outbreak. FAO and and the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) developed a 15-year global control strategy in 2012 to reduce the burden of FMD in endemic countries and maintain the status of FMD-free countries.
