But it’s not just human health that scientists are working on. In parts of the world, the loss of a cow or a sheep could spell financial ruin. Foot and mouth disease (FMDV) is one of the world’s most economically devastating diseases. The UK suffered outbreaks in 2002 and 2007, and the cost to the economy was an estimated £8 billion However, the disease remains endemic throughout much of the world, costing between $6-21 billion a year in lost livestock and vaccination efforts. In parts of Asia, Africa, and South America, FMDV is an everyday problem, but work at Diamond may help change that.
