fed animals such as cattle, deer, pigs, and sheep.
             Symptoms of the FMD virus are vesicle or blisters on the mouth or on the feel and resulting slobbering or lameness are the best-known sign or the disease. Often the blisters are not seen until they rupture. Some of the other signs that is significant for this disease that have been noticed during outbreaks:
             v Temperature rises and falls in about 48 hours
             v Rupture of vesicles discharge either clear or cloudy fluid and leave raw, eroded areas surrounding by ragged fragments of loose tissue
             v Sticky, foamy, stringy saliva is produced

             v Lameness with reluctance to move is often observed
             v Milk flow of infected cow drops abruptly
             Meat animals do not normally regain lost weight for many months. Recovered cows seldom produce milk at their former rates. It can lead to myocarditis and death most often in newborn animals.
             Foot and mouth disease are commonly get confused with several similar but less harmful domestic. Some of these are vesicular stomatitis, bluetongue, bovine viral diarrhea, and foot rot in cattle and vesicular exanthema of swine and swine vesicular disease in pigs. Laboratory test are used to determine whether the disease causing them is FMD.
             This disease is widespread. FMD is one of the most difficult to contain because it occurs in various parts of the world. Animals and animal by-products from areas known to be infected are prohibited entry into the country. Animals in this country are very susceptibility to FMD because animals in this area had not developed immunity to it.
             The last reported outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease was in 1981 in England. The most significant outbreak prior to this one was in 1967 when 400,000 animals were slaughtered and the disease took six months to get under control. It has occurred again after twenty years due to the Type O virus of f...
