has suffered from nine outbreaks of foot-and-mouth disease.
Three of these occurred before the turn of the century, in
1870, 1880, and 1884. Since 1900, six outbreaks have
occurred, in 1902, 1908, 1914, 1924 (two separate
outbreaks), and 1929. All the outbreaks occurring before the
turn of the century were traced to importation of infected
livestock; but, since the development of a Federal system of
inspection and quarantine of imported livestock, no outbreak
has been attributed to admission of live animals. |
