Abstract

Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is a severely debilitating viral infection that affects cloven-hoofed animals and is seen as a major danger to the global cattle economy. The OIE has designated 70 nations as FMD-free zones, regardless of immunization status, whereas Pakistan and about 100 other countries are still classified endemic or sporadic zones. The infection is most common in cattle and pigs, although it also affects goats, lambs, buffaloes in Pakistan. External factors, such as common disinfectants and standard meat preservation methods, have no effect on the virus. After an acute infection, the virus is shed in all body secretions and excretions (including exhaled air), such as saliva, nasal and lachrymal fluid, milk, urine, faeces, and sperm. In the absence of infection, preventive measures such as national border control should be established to prevent major movement of animals and livestock products from non-free neighbors or trading partners. FMD is currently widespread and widespread throughout Pakistan, while the disease's prevalence varies significantly throughout the country's various farming systems and agro-ecological zones. Five of the seven FMDV serotypes have endemic distributions in the nation, with Serotypes O, A, C, SAT1 and SAT2 being responsible for FMD outbreaks from 1974 to 2007. The most common serotype is O, which accounts for 72% of all outbreaks studied in the nation. Control through eradication, strengthened veterinary services, and control and prevention of other infections are all part of the global elimination of FMD. The virus-related obstacles, economic considerations of FMD enzootic considerations, and social and political issues are the key challenges addressed during FMD eradication. Eradication; FMD; Pakistan are some of the terms that come to mind while thinking about eradication.
