Breeds

 

Breeds of FMD-susceptible species indigenous to FMD enzootic regions tend to be less susceptible to disease than animals of the same species, but different breed, imported into an enzootic country. For instance, European and North American breeds of cattle are more susceptible to disease than indigenous African breeds of cattle, and European breeds of sheep and goats are more susceptible to disease than the breeds indigenous to the Middle East.
