The past decade has witnessed important developments in the control
of foot and mouth disease (FMD). The Progressive Control Pathway
for FMD (PCP-FMD) provides a novel stepwise methodology for a
cost-effective, risk-management approach to FMD control, and is now
the backbone for the implementation of the FAO-OIE Global Foot and
Mouth Disease Control Strategy (2012). The costs of vaccination,
one of the most important tools for managing FMD, represent 90% of
the total expense of controlling the disease, so it is essential to
plan and evaluate vaccine and vaccination effectiveness to convince
decision-makers to continue implementing rigorous control measures.
These guidelines are designed to guide and assess national or
sub-national vaccination programmes at various stages of the
PCP-FMD, and will also be helpful for countries looking to regain
FMD-free status following an incursion of the disease, in
accordance with OIE Terrestrial Animal Health Code standards. They
stress the importance of having up-to-date information on virus
strains circulating in a given area and highlight the need for
effective Veterinary Services in implementing FMD control
programmes. Given that readers may not necessarily be FMD
specialists, the contributors have sought to provide a balance of
scientific background, methodology and practical examples
