He suggests that future outbreaks might be controlled using the latest advances in vaccine technology, and recommends that "policies on FMD will need to be reconsidered."
Beale addresses some of the usual objections to vaccination:
* Against: vaccines are only really effective if they are matched to the right strain of FMD. For: not any more, says Beale. Powerful modern vaccines offer some protection against even imperfect matches of the virus. In addition, new synthetic peptide vaccines allow "very rapid production" in response to new strains.
* Against: vaccines are slow to start protecting livestock. For: modern vaccines are effective more quickly than ever, protecting within four days in some animals.
* Against: both infected and vaccinated animals show antibodies to FMD, making it difficult to tell whether infection is spreading. For: assays that can distinguish between both sorts of response already exist and are convenient and reliable, according to ...
