In case you don’t know much about foot and mouth disease there’s a new website with all the information. It’s produced by the National Center for Foreign Animal and Zoonotic Disease at Texas A&M University.

As a Department of Homeland Security National Center of Excellence, the National Center for Foreign Animal and Zoonotic Disease Defense is focused upon the development and application of integrated transcending methods and capabilities that specifically address priority areas set by the Department of Homeland Security. It is a key and active participant in the evolution of the national network of collaborating and cooperating universities, national and federal assets, and private sector partners.

You’ll find some good Q&A on the topic among other things. I’m not sure what “transcending methods and capabilities” are but I’m sure they do them well.
