The book "Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus" provides a comprehensive analysis of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD), which has been documented since the 16th century. It highlights the significance of this disease, which is considered the most feared illness of cattle and other livestock following the eradication of rinderpest in the early 20th century. The severe economic consequences of the FMD outbreak in England at the beginning of the 21st century, which spread to other regions, underscore the urgency for further research to improve the detection and control of this highly contagious viral infection. The book addresses the various serotypes of the virus, the complexity of vaccine production, and the debates surrounding vaccination strategies compared to the culling of infected animals. It is aimed at professionals and researchers involved in animal health and virology.
