25
Q

What are some of the control measures that would be implemented if a case of FMD was diagnosed in the UK?

A
  • All susceptible livestock on the infected holding would be culled and destroyed
  • All meat and other products from the infected holding would be traced and destroyed
  • Strong restrictions on the movement of people, vehicles, or other animals in the area surrounding the infection
  • Cleaning and disinfecting the affected holding and any vehicles or equipment which enetered the holding
  • Detailed conditions would be laid down for the restocking of the holding, which can only take place 21 days after cleaning and disinfection operation is complete
  • Protection zone: radius of at least 3km around the site

  • Restrictions on movement of susceptible animals in and out of this zone
26
Q

What treatment/eradication options are there for FMD?

A
  • Eradication programs: confirmatory diagnosis, destructon of exposed cadavers, bedding, animals and animal products
  • Vaccinate to kill - ring vaccination to slow spread, with all vaccinated farms to be depopulated within 1-2 weeks of vaccination. Banned in EU since 1992.
  • Vaccinate to live - only done in parts of the world where the disease is endemic, has huge implications for international trade.
27
Q

What would happen in the UK if a diagnosis of FMD was confirmed?

A
  • UK would immediately put in place measures laid down in EU direction 2003/85/EC (or superceding relevant post-Brexit legislation)
28
Q

After a FMD outbreak, how long does it take for a country to regain its disease-free status? What is the impact of this?

A
  • Shortest period in which disease-free status can be recovered is 3 months after the cull of the last infected animal
  • Until the disease-free status is recovered, other countries can ban live animals and animal products from the affected country
29
Q

What should you do if you suspect FMD on farm?

A
  • May the diagnosis: clinically, vesicular diseases are indistinguishable (salivaton and lameness with vesicles require further testing)
  • Notify the Animal Health Office immediately
  • Wait on-farm for an official vet
30
