Abstract:

Only North America, Australia, and Antarctica do not have any foot-and-mouth disease. North Carolina officials, however, feel there is a threat that the disease could spread to the state. Hajian describes steps the state could take to combat it, including quarantines, road blocks, and disinfection stations.
