The fact re mains, however, that measles possess a far greater hazard to the welfare of citizens than does the contagious disease of cattle, whose main factors are purely economic. Foot and mouth disease, or aph thous fever, is a highly contagious disease primarily affecting cattle, and only occasionally attacking man. There have been six severe outbreaks in the United States since 1870, ex clusive of the one now appearing. There has been on each occasion con- siderable economic loss, but a low mortality of the cattle involved. The main losses have depended upon the interferences with the milk supply, the marketablity of meat and the general disturbance occasioned by quarantine. The mode of control of the epi- demic involves isolation of the effect- ed herds, with the destruction and burial of diseased cattle, general dis- infection and restriction of the move- ments of cattle, and systematic inspec- tion of the farms in the infected areas, to secure the early detection oft he disease. The disease itself consists of the eruption of vesicles, chiefly on the mucous membranes of the mouth and on the skin of the cleft of the hoof, with occasional outbreaks on the ud- ders and other portions of the skin. The cause of the disease has not been identified, but there is reason to be lieve that it is an ultra-microscopic virus. The specific causative element is known to occur in the exudate from the vesicles, in the saliva, milk, tears and various other secretions and excretions. The virus is readily destroyed by heat. The disease is rare among adults, tho it occasionally occurs among children. The infection is transmit- ted thru the use of raw milk, butter, buttermilk, cheese and whey derived from ai^mals suffering with foot and mouth disease.
