The pathogenesis of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is reviewed, taking account of knowledge gained from field and experimental studies and embracing investigations at the level of the virus, the cell, the organ, the whole animal and the herd or flock. The review also addresses the immune response and the carrier state in FMD. Progress made in understanding the pathogenesis of the disease is highlighted in relation to developments in diagnosis and methods of control.

• Foot-and-Mouth Disease (2004, background): “Other studies, however, have suggested that the pharynx, and not the lungs, may be the initial site of viral replication in infected cattle (8, 79, 489).”
• Factors Influencing Livestock Productivity (2012, background): “The most common mechanism of spread is by direct contact, ingestion, or inhalation of the virus from contagious animals or innate objects, such as contaminated vehicles, clothing, feed, or water (Alexandersen et al. 2003; NRC 2005).”
