Abstract
Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) has been a longstanding concern for
livestock industries worldwide, prompting the development of historical and
contemporary control strategies. Historically, the approach involved mass
culling and movement restrictions, while contemporary strategies emphasize
vaccination campaigns, quarantine measures, surveillance, and global
collaboration. Vaccination has proven successful in reducing clinical signs,
yet challenges arise from the virus's genetic diversity. Quarantine and
surveillance play pivotal roles in early detection and containment, with
successes tempered by resource limitations and asymptomatic carriers.
Biosecurity practices are crucial, but ensuring consistent compliance remains a
challenge. Global collaboration through organizations like the World
Organization for Animal Health enhances preparedness, yet disparities in
capacities among nations persist. Despite successes, challenges in addressing
FMD's genetic variability, trade considerations and consistent implementation
of control measures highlight the ongoing need for research and a unified,
global approach.
