The document discusses the risk assessment and control measures for Foot-and-Mouth Disease (FMD) in Turkey, highlighting the main challenge of virus incursion leading to continuous circulation and endemicity. A 'risk-based control program' was developed to achieve OIE FMD-free status with vaccination by 2025, implemented through a progressive disease control approach across various regions. Challenges such as early detection, illegal animal movement, and gaps in vaccination policies are noted, alongside proposed strategies to enhance disease management and public awareness.
