Description

Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) is an extremely contagious disease affecting cloven-hoofed livestock and wildlife species, including cattle, pigs, sheep, bison, elk, deer, wild boar, llamas, etc. It is a viral disease causing fever and vesicles that rupture in the mouth and on the skin of the udder and feet. While adult animals rarely die from the disease, they stop eating, become lame and very ill. Human infection is rare, although people can be carriers, as the virus can live up to 36 hours in the human throat. FMD is a reportable disease in Canada under the Health of Animals Act.
