FMD is a highly contagious virus with significant economic repercussions, affecting a wide range of animals, including cattle, buffaloes, sheep, goats, pigs, and wildlife species. Swift and accurate diagnosis is paramount for effective outbreak management, and that is where our podcast comes in. We explore the challenges of diagnosing FMD, especially when it shares clinical signs with other diseases like Seneca Valley Virus Disease. At EuFMD, we're committed to supporting field veterinarians in recognizing FMD symptoms and distinguishing them from similar diseases.
