A recent study looked at different livestock settings in Italy to assess the spread of Foot-and-Mouth Disease (FMD) in relation to the cost effectiveness of potential control strategies. The study highlights that thestructure and density of FMD-susceptible species populations play an important role in disease spread and the choice of a control strategy. Transmission is, therefore, strongly related to distribution and density of FMD-susceptible animals.

What control strategy would be most cost-effective in case of a Foot-and-Mouth Disease (FMD) outbreak? A recent Italian study calculated what would work best in case of hypothetical outbreaks in areas with different levels of livestock density. One conclusion prevails: being prepared always helps, the researchers said. The study was authored by scientists from the Experimental Zooprophylactica Institute of Lombardy and Emilia Romagna (IZSLER) in Brescia, Italy as well as the University of Turin.
