畜牧业为世界经济做出了巨大贡献。然而，动物疾病仍然是经济增长、减贫和粮食安全的主要制约因素。最严重的疾病之一是口蹄疫，这是一种传染性很强的多物种动物疾病，对国家经济和贸易造成破坏性影响。不太明显的是，口蹄疫对这种疾病流行的发展中国家的发展和减贫造成严重限制。由于口蹄疫的全球影响和对社会造成的高昂成本，口蹄疫是一种传染病，其控制和预防被认为是一项全球公益事业。全球控制口蹄疫应被视为捐助者的优先事项，但需要各方的长期承诺、政府的强烈政治意愿和捐助者的协调一致的财政支持。干预领域必须在联合国粮食及农业组织（粮农组织）和世界动物卫生组织（动物卫生组织）等国际组织通过粮农组织/动物卫生组织逐步控制口蹄疫和其他跨界动物疾病全球框架制定的方案框架内，以及在有关区域的疾病控制方案内。这一目标应具体侧重于分析工作（口蹄疫对家庭和穷人的微观经济影响和成本效益分析）、研究、监测网络、通信、监测和评价以及不断加强兽医服务。
Livestock contributes significantly to the world economy. However, animal diseases are still a major constraint on economic growth, the reduction of poverty and food security. Among the most significant diseases is foot and mouth disease (FMD), a highly contagious, multi-species animal disease with a devastating impact on national economies and trade. Less obvious is the severe constraint that FMD places on both development and the reduction of poverty in developing countries where this disease is endemic. As a result of its global implications and the high costs that it imposes on society, FMD is an infectious disease whose control and prevention are recognised as being a global public good.Moving towards the global control of FMD should be considered a priority for donors, but will require long-term commitment from all parties, strong political will from governments and concerted financial support from donors. Areas of intervention must fall within the framework of programmes developed by international organisations, such as the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE), through the FAO/OIE Global Framework for the Progressive Control of FMD and Other Transboundary Animal Diseases, as well as the disease control programmes of the regions concerned. Such a goal should specifically focus on analytical work (micro-economic impact and cost-benefit analyses of FMD at the household level and on the poor), research, surveillance networks, communication, monitoring and evaluation, and continuous strengthening of Veterinary Services.
