Moving Towards the Global Control of Foot and Mouth Disease : An Opportunity for Donors

Livestock contributes significantly to the world economy. However, animal diseases are still a major constraint on economic growth, the reduction of poverty and food security. Among the most significant diseases is foot and mouth disease (FMD), a highly contagious, multi-species animal disease with...

However, animal diseases are still a major constraint on economic growth, the reduction of poverty and food security. Among the most significant diseases is foot and mouth disease (FMD), a highly contagious, multi-species animal disease with a devastating impact on national economies and trade. Less obvious is the severe constraint that FMD places on both development and the reduction of poverty in developing countries where this disease is endemic. As a result of its global implications and the high costs that it imposes on society, FMD is an infectious disease whose control and prevention are recognised as being a global public good.

Such a goal should specifically focus on analytical work (micro-economic impact and cost-benefit analyses of FMD at the household level and on the poor), research, surveillance networks, communication, monitoring and evaluation, and continuous strengthening of Veterinary Services. 2012-03-30T07:31:11Z 2012-03-30T07:31:11Z 2009 Journal Article Rev Sci Tech 0253-1933 (Print) 0253-1933 (Linking) http://hdl.handle.net/10986/5083 EN http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/igo World Bank Journal Article
