Foot and mouth disease (aphthae epizooticae) is an infectious disease that affects cloven-hoofed animals. Since 1967, Britain had been free of the disease, until an outbreak was detected on 19 February 2001 in pigs from Buckinghamshire and the Isle of Wight. The epidemic lasted until October, in which time over six million cows and sheep were killed, costing the U.K. an estimated £8 billion.
