About this ebook
Examines the U.S.'s ability to prevent the introduction of foot & mouth (FMD) disease. FMD is a highly contagious viral disease of cloven-hoofed animals such as cattle, swine, & sheep. Many animals recover from an FMD infection, but the disease leaves them debilitated & causes severe losses in meat & milk production. The report contains recommendations to the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture (USDA) on the need to develop a process to expeditiously communicate information on foreign disease outbreaks to the Customs Service, improve some of the preventive measures used in the U.S., & develop plans & timetables to address any outstanding issues that could impede a U.S. response.
