The global impact of foot and mouth disease (FMD) is colossal because of the huge numbers of animals
affected. This impact can be separated into two components: direct losses due to a reduction in production
and changes in herd structure; and indirect losses that relate to the significant costs o...

Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) endemic regions contain three-quarters of the world's FMD susceptible livestock and most of the world's poor livestock keepers. Yet FMD impact on smallholders in these regions is poorly understood. Diseases of low mortality can exert a large impact if incidence is hig...
