Abstract
ON December 11, 1972, an outbreak of vesicular disease in pigs was reported from Staffordshire; It was diagnosed as foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) on clinical grounds but this was not confirmed on initial serological tests. Investigations were carried out to determine the nature of the aetiological agent.
