Foot and Mouth Disease
Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is a highly contagious and serious disease that spreads rapidly, causing significant socio-economic impacts by severely affecting livestock productivity.
STAR IDAZ Approach
Foot and mouth disease (FMD) is a highly contagious viral disease that primarily affects cloven-hooved livestock and wildlife. Although adult animals generally recover, the morbidity rate is very high in naive populations, and significant pain and distress occur in some species.
STAR-IDAZ is a partner in the Global Foot-and-Mouth Research Alliance (GFRA) which aims to establish and sustain global research partnerships to generate scientific knowledge and discover the tools for prevention, control, and eradication of FMD.

Working group
GFRA (Global Foot-and-Mouth disease Research Alliance)
A coordinated global alliance of scientists producing evidence and innovation that enables the progressive control and eradication of FMD. To establish and sustain global research partnerships to generate scientific knowledge and discover the tools to successfully prevent, control and eradicate FMD.

Gap analysis summary
Three FMD Roadmaps have been created for development of diagnostic tests, control strategies and candidate vaccines. The roadmaps have been reviewed by the at the STAR-IDAZ IRC workshopĀ held at the 2019 GFRA Scientific Meeting, Bangkok, Thailand, October 29-31, 2019. Participants at the workshop (others were also participating) are listed as the Working Group on this page.
