It will be useful to know the lessons learnt of the use of SO during the FMD outbreak in UK will be useful. Is there anyone who can share with us the main lessons learnt?

Dear All
In my opinion, a stamping out policy for infected units with ring vaccination is perhaps ideal. However, I am not sure that a stamping out policy is necessary as there is no carrier state and little or no spread via fomites. Nor is there any risk to human health. The reason for stamping out would be to stop local spread within a village. For any stamping out policy to be effective, there will NEED to be a properly funded and functioning compensation scheme so that owners do not simply more animals out of an infected village, something that is easy to do with sheep and goats, particularly young ones. Compensation schemes have often not been functional and/or funded.
As animals will either die or recover and have no carrier status, stamping out may not be necessary and could be counter productive.
