How is foot and mouth disease transmitted?

Foot and mouth disease is a highly contagious viral disease that affects cloven-hoofed animals such as cows, pigs, sheep, and goats. The virus is transmitted through direct contact with an infected animal's bodily fluids such as nasal secretions, saliva, feces, and milk. It can also be spread through contaminated feed and equipment, as well as by people, vehicles, and other animals that have been in contact with infected animals or their materials. The virus can survive outside the host's body for days to months, making it easy to spread and difficult to control.
