  9. How could FMD be intentionally introduced ???? • FMD on every continent except North America, Australia, Antarctica • Outbreaks occur frequently – England, Uruguay, Brazil, Argentina, Taiwan, etc. • Infected animals awash in virus • Various media, nutrient broth will allow for virus survival in a test tube • Virus will survive in some cured meats for 1.5 years

  11. FMD = National Emergency • 1 case =Exports stop, animal movements halted, quarantine zones, animals destroyed, entire economy affected • Infected premises = pay for all livestock depopulated at pre-disaster prices • Government= pays all costs associated with response • Many producer costs not reimbursed, unless congress reacts
