Illustration of foot and mouth disease virus (FMDV, pink and purple) particles. This highly contagious virus infects cattle, pigs, and sheep and many cloven-hoofed wildlife species. It causes painful lesions to appear in the mouth and feet which may lead to loss of appetite and lameness. An outbreak of foot and mouth disease in the UK in 2001 caused the loss of over half a million cattle and three million sheep. | |
