2. Nigeria
- Movement of cattle in the country and
across the borders (import, nomadic
pastoralism)
- Veterinary service: no control
programme for FMD
- FMD vaccination when vaccine is
available
- No systematic surveillance
- Notifications of FMD are sporadic
-> Need for better understanding of the
current epidemiology of FMD
