APHIS FMD Response Goals
7
The goals of an FMD response are to:
(1) detect, control, and contain FMD in animals as quickly
as possible;
(2) eradicate FMD using strategies that stabilize animal
agriculture, the food supply, the economy, and protect
public health and the environment; and
(3) provide science- and risk-based approaches and
systems to facilitate continuity of business for non-
infected animals and non-contaminated animal products.
FMD Response Strategies
9
FMD response strategies—strategies are not mutually
exclusive:
 Stamping-out
 Stamping-out modified with emergency vaccination to
kill
 Stamping out modified with emergency vaccination to
slaughter
 Stamping-out modified with emergency vaccination to
live
 Combination of options
 Vaccination to live without stamping-out

Safeguarding Animal Health
The Complexities of FMD Vaccine Planning
• 7 serotypes: A, O, C, Asia 1, SAT1, SAT2, SAT3
• Multiple topotypes within each serotype
• Topotypes within serotype ± cross-reactive
• Most vaccine inactivated (killed)
• Molecular vaccines in development (Genvec)
• Two categories:
• Emergency Vaccine - ≥ 6 PD50
• Commercial Vaccine - ≥ 3 PD50
• Emergency vaccine stored as concentrate
• Commercial vaccine stored as finished product
• Difficult to anticipate what to bank
• Novel vaccine technology needed
Mission Statement
The NAFMDVB fosters the
preparedness for responding to
an FMD outbreak in North
America, maintaining expertise
in FMD vaccines, vaccine
deployment, vaccination and
other FMD control measures.
The NAFMDVB maintains the
repository of vaccine antigen
concentrates (VAC) for the
production of emergency FMD
vaccines.
Background
Established: In 1982 from a Memorandum of Understanding
between United States, Canada, and Mexico to ensure the
availability and readiness of vaccines when needed, to control an
outbreak of Foot and Mouth Disease in North America.
• Based on emergency vaccinate to kill strategy
• Annual contributions from Canada, Mexico and the United
States proportional to the susceptible animal population of
each country.
Two Governing Bodies
The Commission: Chief Veterinary Officer from
each country
The Technical Committee (TC):
Comprised of one technical and one regulatory representative from each
country.
The TC advises the Commission on matters of a scientific and technical
nature.
The TC works in coordination with the Emergency Management Working
Group (EMWG) to advise the Commission on policy and implementation
of the NAFMDVB program by each member country.
The EMWG is a subcommittee of the North American Animal Health
committee (NAAHC) charged with coordinating, harmonizing, and
expediting animal health emergency management in North America.
NAFMDVB Location
 USDA’s Foreign Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory
(FADDL) at the Plum Island Animal Disease Center.
 Under stringent safety and security controls 24/7.
Facilities
Laboratory facility for antigen, sera and master seed
testing.
Storage facility
Liquid nitrogen freezers for antigens and antigen samples
Refrigerators for pilot vaccines
Access to animal rooms
with capacity to house 17
bovines of 400 pounds.
