About Foot-and-mouth disease

Disease pathogen

Foot-and-mouth disease virus is particularly sensitive to acids and bases. At pH 3, the infectivity is instantly lost, and 90% is inactivated within one second at pH 5.5; 1% to 2% sodium hydroxide or 4% sodium bicarbonate solution can kill the virus within 1 minute. The virus can survive for several years at -70 ~ -50 ℃, and it can kill the virus for 1 minute at 85 ℃. Milk pasteurized (72 °C for 15 minutes) can make the virus infectious. Under natural conditions, the virus can survive on cow hair for 24 days and survive on bran for 104 days. Ultraviolet rays can kill the virus, and ether, acetone, chloroform and protease have no effect on the virus.

Spread of disease

The virus can spread through contact, drinking water and air. Birds, rodents, cats, dogs and insects can all spread the disease. Various contaminated items such as work clothes, shoes, feeding tools, transport vehicles, forage, fodder, and water can all spread the virus and cause illness.
The disease has epidemiological characteristics such as rapid epidemic, wide spread, acute onset, and great harm. Calves have a higher mortality rate and others have lower rates. Sick and latent animals are the most dangerous sources of infection.

Harm of Foot-and-mouth disease

Typical symptoms are blisters and ulcers in the mouth, breasts and hooves. Numerous sick animals drool, eat less or refuse to eat; hoof pain causes lameness or even fall of the hoof shell. The disease generally has a low mortality rate in adult cattle, ranging from 1% to 3%, but in calves, mortality is high due to myocarditis and hemorrhagic enteritis.
