FMD is characterised by fever and blister-like sores on the tongue and lips, in the mouth, on the teats and between the hooves. The disease causes severe production losses, and while the majority of affected animals recover, the disease often leaves them weakened and debilitated.

2024年2月27日 · FMD may be confused with other diseases that produce blisters, including vesicular stomatitis, bluetongue, bovine viral diarrhea, foot rot in cattle, and swine vesicular disease. The only way to tell if the blisters are caused by the FMD virus is …

Animals with FMD typically have a fever and blisters on the tongue and lips, in and around the mouth, on the mammary glands, and around the hooves. These blisters, called vesicles, pop and turn into red areas called erosions.

Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is a highly contagious viral disease of cloven-hoofed animals, which leads to the formation of vesicles, erosions und ulcerations in the mouth and hairless parts of the skin, in particular on the feet. Due to its dramatic economic consequences, FMD is considered to be on …

Foot and mouth disease (FMD) is caused by a virus of the family Picornaviridae, genus Aphthovirus. The virus has seven immunologically distinct serotypes: A, O, C, SAT1, SAT2, SAT3, and Asia1, which do not confer cross immunity. There have been no reports of FMD cases due to serotype C since 2004 and this serotype is now considered to be extinct.

FMD is a highly contagious viral disease that affects cloven-hoofed (two-toed) animals (cattle, pigs, sheep, goats, some wildlife). Onset and severity of clinical signs will vary between animals.

The disease is characterized by fever, vesicular (blister-like) le-sions, and ulcers of the mouth, tongue, nostrils, muzzle, feet, and teats. FMD is not a threat to public health. The FMD virus (FMDV) is a single stranded RNA virus of 25–30 nm diameter with icosahedral symmetry.
