Summary

FMD 2010 provided Australia and other regions of the world with an opportunity to discuss FMD research, debate control options, consider the use of vaccination and the application of diagnostic assays and where we stand in our understanding of virus/host interactions in an international arena. As the platinum sponsor of this event, MLA was a key supporter and understands the importance of how the foot and mouth disease can impact the red meat industry.
