Foot-and-mouth disease

DISEASE NAME HAND FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE   BIOGRAPHY The hand, foot and mouth disease (HMFD) is a viral infection that primarily affects young children and infants and is characterized by eruptions of vesicles on the skin of the mouth, hands and feet of infected humans.  The most prevalent pathogen is the Coxsakievirus A16, which is of the family Picornaviradie and the genus Enterovirus. Infections from Coxsakievirus A4 – A7, A9, A10, B1 – B3, as well as B5 have been found to occur occasionally.

The Search for Better Health Research Task Foot and Mouth Disease(FMD) Foot and mouth disease is a severe, highly contagious viral disease of domestic and wild cloven-hoofed animals (ungulates), these include cattle, sheep and pigs. The disease is characterised by the formation of vesicles and erosions in the mouth and nostrils, on the teats, and on the skin between and above the hoofs. FMD may cause serious production losses and is a major constraint to international trade in livestock and their

Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is a highly contagious disease carried by viruses that affects many types of livestock including cattle, sheep, hogs, and goats. It is known as one of the problematic diseases in herds because it is so contagious, and can be both acute and prolonged. When infected, the foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) propagates quickly and causes vesicular disease in the feet and mouth of the animal (virology journal). The symptoms of FMD include fever, blisters on the feet and in

Worldwide Eradication of Foot and Mouth Disease The potential threat of a foreign animal disease is always at the back of an agricultural livestock producer 's mind because it could possibly be devastating both economically and environmentally. The disease has the potential to wipe out a large percentage of the livestock animal population, thus affecting the way the US uses the land that supports food animal production. The possibility of an outbreak of Foot and Mouth Disease is a big area of interest

Abstract In Egypt, Foot and mouth disease virus (FMDV) serotype O topotype EA-3 has emerged in 2012 and consequently predominated. Molecular epidemiological studies suggested spillover of this topotype to Egypt from Sudan. During December 2016 to April 2017, FMDV outbreaks were reported in Egypt; therefore, our study aimed to characterize FMDV originated from these outbreaks. Clinical data and vaccine history were collected form 9 affected farms and 27 individual cases owned by small stock holders

Hand-foot-and-mouth disease is a mild, contagious viral infection common in young children. It is characterized by sores in the mouth and a rash on the hands and feet. Hand-foot-and-mouth disease is most commonly caused by the virus, coxsackievirus. Case Presentation A 1-year old male baby, has enrolled into a daycare facility. The parents of this baby, reported that the daycare employees documented the daily diaper changes, the child’s whereabouts and environment placement. The baby showed signs

Opening: Hand, foot, and mouth are parts of human body have the highest change to get contagious infection. There are many viruses but Enterovirus groups, (most common is the coxsackie virus) is the main factor. These viruses can spread through direct contact from person to person especially with those have bad habits such as: unusually washed hands or surfaces contaminated with feces. An infected person’s saliva, stool, or respiratory secretions can transmit the infection. Body: CAUSES - A kind

Disease control, elimination, and eradication are three very closely related terms. Disease control is when a disease attributes for a reduced number of infections due to deliberate human interaction. For disease control to continue, human intervention must continue as well. Elimination is when there is no occurrence of the disease in a specific geographical location because of human intervention. Similar to disease control, human intervention must continue for the geographical location to maintain

University JOURNAL ARTICLE IDENTIFICATION The Center for Disease Control published a journal article in Emerging Infectious Disease volume 22, number 11 in November 2016. The article summarizes a case study that was completed in 2015. Researchers performed a study on pediatric ambulatory patients in an attempt to estimate the prevalence of enterovirus serotypes and the clinical presentations associated with hand, foot and mouth disease. The study was a cohort prospective study, which lasted one
