Abstract
With Foot-and-Mouth being an endemic disease in Afghanistan, affecting a great number of livestock and having a direct effect on food security, the WCS Ecosystem Health Team set out to increase the protective immunity of a cattle and yak population within the upper Wakhan Valley, north-eastern Afghanistan. A mass FMD vaccination campaign was initiated in April 2010 targeting almost 3,000 animals, with the results documented within this Ecosystem Health team's report.
