Airborne
Spread of FMD Virus
Enforcement of Movement Controls
|
|
For a country or zone to become free of FMD it must be possible to control
movement of potentially infected animals from neighbouring countries.
If the neighbouring country is endemically infected and if there are no
natural or man-made boundaries between countries then the prospects of
movement control are poor. The situation is made even worse if there is
a tradition of free and frequent movement of people and their animals
across national boundaries. These are factors that make FMD control in
regions such as the Middle East and North Africa so difficult to achieve.
