Foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) is a highly contagious virus that primarily affects cloven-hoofed animals, such as cattle, pigs, sheep, and goats. It causes fever and blister-like sores in the mouth and on the feet, leading to significant pain and loss of productivity in affected animals. The virus spreads easily through direct contact, contaminated equipment, and even through the air. FMDV is classified into seven distinct serotypes, which can complicate vaccination efforts. Outbreaks can have severe economic impacts on the livestock industry, prompting strict control measures and surveillance. Effective management of FMDV is crucial for maintaining animal health and food security.
