 Foot and mouth disease - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Infection with foot-and-mouth disease tends to occur locally, that is, the virus is passed on to susceptible animals through direct contact with infected animals or with contaminated pens or vehicles used to transport livestock.
There is another viral disease with similar symptoms, commonly referred to as “hand, foot, and mouth disease,” that occurs more frequently in humans, especially in young children; this disease is caused by a different virus of the family Picornaviridae, namely, an Enterovirus called
In cattle, foot-and-mouth disease is characterized by high fever that declines rapidly after two or three days; blisters inside the mouth that lead to excessive secretion of stringy or foamy saliva and to drooling; and blisters on the feet that may rupture and cause lameness.

 hand-foot-mouth disease
Fortunately, most hand-foot-mouth infections are caused by the ordinary, benign strain of Coxsackie virus.
Complications are quite rare, but one strain of the virus can cause more serious infections.
There have been reports of stillbirth in women exposed to Coxsackie virus infections, so some degree of caution in that regard would be wise.

Foot and mouth disease virus (FMDV) was recognized as a micro-organism causing disease in animals by Loeffler and Frosch in 1898, although the virus was not isolated until the 1930Â’s.
These viruses are members of the same family as foot and mouth disease - the picornaviruses.

Milk from cows in the incubation stage of the disease can contain foot-and-mouth disease virus for a few days before the symptoms become evident.
In countries like Great Britain, where the disease arises only as the result of imported infection, the accepted policy is to stamp it out by slaughtering all affected stock and any others which have been exposed to such risk of infection that it is reasonably certain that they would develop the disease if left alive.
Mouth symptoms are not usually visible, but blisters may develop on the snout or on the tongue.

 Foot and Mouth Disease
Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) is an acute, highly contagious picornavirus infection of cloven hooved animals.The virus (FMDV) is sensitive to environmental influences, such as pH less than 5, sunlight and dessication, however it can survive for long period of time at freezing temperatures.
People can be infected through skin wounds or the oral mucosa by handling diseased stock, the virus in the laboratory, or by drinking infected milk, but not by eating meat from infected animals.
Cattle are mainly infected by inhalation, often from pigs, which excrete large amounts of virus by respiratory aerosols and are considered highly important in disease spread.

Foot and Mouth Disease, also known as hoof and mouth diseases, is a virus that affects cloven-hoofed animals like sheep, goats, deer, elk and moose.
Outbreaks of OIE-list A diseases, such as Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) and Classical swine Fever (CSF) will have severe economic consequences for countries with a high density of animals and farms and an export-oriented production.
This serological marker can be of great value in countries where the disease occurs or in the veterinary regulatory arena when livestock are transported across borders, since it can be used to identify convalescent, persistently infected animals and vaccinates exposed to wild-type virus variants which have infected the vaccinated animals.

 SatireWire Foot-and-Mouth First Virus Unable To Spread Through Microsoft Outlook
Atlanta, Ga. (SatireWire.com) — Scientists at the Centers for Disease Control and Symantec's AntiVirus Research Center today confirmed that foot-and-mouth disease cannot be spread by Microsoft's Outlook email application, believed to be the first time the program has ever failed to propagate a major virus.
Such an admission would be embarrassing for the software giant, but Symantec virologist Ariel Kologne insisted that no one is more humiliated by the study than she is. "Only last week, I had a reporter ask if the foot-and-mouth virus spreads through Microsoft Outlook, and I told him, 'Doesn't everything?'" she recalled.
The company, however, will issue a free VTP patch if it turns out the application is not vulnerable to foot-and-mouth.
