Article Synopsis
- Mongolia experienced a significant rise in foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) outbreaks in 2017, leading to strict disease control measures that negatively impacted herders' livelihoods and food security.
- A study involving 112 herders revealed that many experienced reduced milk and meat consumption, with nearly half needing to borrow money for essentials due to the economic strain caused by FMD and related restrictions.
- The estimated national economic loss from FMD in 2017 was around 18.4 billion Mongolian-tugriks (US$7.35 million), about 0.65% of the nation's GDP, highlighting the broader economic implications of such outbreaks and the need for better control strategies.
In native Mongolian horses, the incidence and distribution of Rhodococcus equi are poorly understood. One hundred and fourteen equine fecal samples and 71 soil samples were collected from the camp sites of 26 nomadic families located in three areas less than 100 km from Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. Five fecal samples were also collected from foals of Przewalski's Horses introduced into the Hustai National Park, Mongolia.
