Foot and Mouth disease (FMD) has been diagnosed in 34 countries. The latest outbreaks have occurred in Great Britain, Northern Ireland, Argentina, and France. The only continents currently free of the disease are North America, Australia, and Antarctica. Most of these countries are still battling FMD. Outbreaks disrupt the animal industry, including the export of animals and animal products to other countries. Once infection is introduced, it is very difficult to prevent the spread to susceptible species, which include all cloven-hoofed animals.
