Begin wide spread vaccination if the initial approach of stamping out the animals is beyond control. Stop the massive blind killing, an antiquated practice in the age of modern vaccines and diagnostics. Quickly and extensively monitor and detect FMDV infections/carriers using UBI FMDV differential diagnostic tests. Prevent disease spread by killing infected/carrier animals detected by the tests. Continue to monitor progress toward FMDV eradication by using the diagnostic kits until reaching FMD free status. Continue the widespread vaccination program until free of outbreaks for at least 24 months.
