Because FMD rarely infects humans but spreads rapidly among animals, it is a much greater threat to the agriculture industry than to human health. Farmers around the world can lose billions of dollars a year during a foot-and-mouth epidemic, when large numbers of animals are destroyed and revenues from milk and meat production go down.
Todo
In many countries, the loss is not so much due to the disease itself. The disease has been stricking here and there for a very long time, and until a few decennies, movements of animals was very limited, so the disease couldnot spread really. When an epidemic occured, farmers just stopped moving animals for a while from one village to another for reproductive and sales issues.
The disease itself is spreading very quickly but usually does not lead to the death of the animal. The biggest issue is that cattle produced in one country is sometimes sold in another. European cattle is sold to the US for example, but the US is requiring the animals to be free from the disease and NOT vaccinated. Consequently, some european prefer to save the market by avoiding vaccination, but take the risk of epidemics. To avoid an epidemic spreading, the only option left, apart from vaccination, is isolation and preventive slaughtering. The money loss comes from the slaughtering due to market pressure, not so much from the disease itself.

We've got a redirect from 'Foo-bar-baz disease' to 'Foo bar baz disease', yet 'Foo-bar-baz' is used throughout the article. Which one are we going with as official? -- Rissa 21:32, 16 Jun 2004 (UTC)
I made some minor edits - added to some stuff I know about vaccination and serotypes. I also took out the line about the vaccine developed in 1981 because it was dated (quite dated).
This article should be at Foot-and-mouth disease with this entry redirecting there. -- postglock 13:34, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
No refereces appear in article, so I'm delisting it. AndyZ 21:05, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
At what point was it confirmed that the 2001 outbreak was the result of a stolen bio-weapon? This is pure speculation on behalf of the Express. I have reworded it as such.
This article would benefit from having a section about the history of the disease. That is, its history as known to humanity. When was it first identified? How did it start or stop within natural populations of animals before vaccines, etc. The current information in the article is very "present-day" based, with little background beyond the discovery/proving that FMD was a virus in 1897. The disease was around long before that, affecting agriculture, but the article has no real information about that history. QwertyUSA 21:20, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
It is with dismay I learned (thanks to the contributing Wikipedian) that FMD was not a letahl disease and that most animals were recovering from it. Yet Millions have been slaughtered in the uk for fear of sprteading + there seems to be sopme damage limitation we could apply with cheap vaccination. The reason for slaughtering is commercial as some exporting countries will not accept vaccined cattle. This whole point is not made lear enough in the "Ethical" section. Will somebody please make this clear? If this doesn;t happen within a couple of weeks I will.

The article says that the animals being raised for milk production could recover from the disease and live "normal lives," but anyone familiar with the lives of dairy cows would confirm that their lives are anything but normal. Perhaps this wording could be revised to be a little more objective. 151.191.175.230 18:37, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
Gnevin has put a {{Globalize/UK}} tag on the article. Apart from references to the UK outbreaks there is nothing that strikes me in the article as being UK only. The UK outbreaks appear to be the only notable and significant outbreaks of foot and mouth, so it would be appropriate that they are mentioned. Does anyone else feel the article shows an inappropriate imbalance toward the UK? SilkTork 13:52, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
I just have a question about the animals being slaughtered because I am in Egypt where this disease is currently a problem. If the animals being slaughtered are used for beef and not milk, does this mean that there is a problem with eating the beef from a diseased animal, but not with drinking the milk from a diseased animal? ......

Enterovirus is known as EV71 and it is common known as foot and mouth diease. [4] Why was the previous entry removed in the article? Can someone find evidence that it it is not related to foot and mouth disease? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.64.10.13 ( talk) 03:00, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
It seems to me that while the lead in is very comprehensive it introduces material that is not expanded upon later in the article - I think that some of the material could be summarized and moved into seperate headings to improve readability. I view leadins sort of like abstracts that summarize the article and points are expanded below. It may shorten the lead in but its current readability is poor. (in my opionion) I think we should tag {{intro-rewrite}} or rewrite it ( i dont feel qualified to do so) Comments? benjicharlton ( talk) 23:59, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
With regard to a recent edit, I'm all for calling this disease hoof and mouth disease to clear up misunderstandings. This fits well with its name in norwegian, but can you guys confirm that "hoof and mouth disease" really is a common term for it in english-speaking countries?

Hoof and Mouth My grandfather Thomas /Childs/ VS, BV.Sc. DVM Dr. Veterinary Medicine was largely responsible for the irradication of the disease in Canada.
