The spread has been country wide, even in the face of some vaccination efforts, animal movement control, and stringent bio-security measures. Recently the disease has also been diagnosed in Botswana and Zimbabwe, so it is a regional issue now. A simple direct 16-hour flight brought me from Johannesburg South Africa to Newark and after passport formalities it was time to collect luggage and\u00a0witnessing\u00a0several hunters collecting gun cases, I struck up a conversation on where they hunted\u00a0including within and around\u00a0South Africa.

At this airport, on this day, there was a glaring absence of biosecurity. What has changed, only the odds. The risk of FMD entering the USA from Southern Africa in the late 2000s was significantly lower as the disease was contained to a small geographical area, but nowView Full Post;"}
