About
Defra Network eTendering Portal awarded a contract to Pirbright Institute for the use of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) sequence data to trace outbreaks.
Foot-and-mouth disease is a highly infectious disease affecting cloven-hooved animals, including farmed livestock such as cattle, pigs, goats, and sheep, as well as wildlife like deer and wild boar.
Although the United Kingdom is currently free of FMD, past outbreaks in 2001 and 2007 had substantial impacts on the farming community and the wider economy.
The contract value is AUD 1,326,558.
