RFI: Foot & Mouth Disease Vaccine (4)
-------------------------------------
I had been asked to comment on the message below and related ones. I am
the librarian of the Onderstepoort Veterinary Institute within the Ag-
ricultural Research Council in SA who provided scientific support dur-
ing the SA outbreaks. There were 2 unrelated ones. In fact, we are not
free of the disease, but it is contained in the Kruger National Park on
the eastern border. If it occasionally spread to immediately outside
the KNP borders it is quickly subdued. Concern arise when it appears
elsewhere in the country.
I am hesitant to try to comment as I am not a scientist. I will try to
get a comment from my patrons. The following can serve for now, but
should by no means regarded as authoritative. Comments are interspersed
below.
I am not a member of AFRO-NETS so please CC me in any postings to the
list.
