With Foot and Mouth disease (FMD) making the headlines regularly throughout southern Africa, it was no surprise that this disease was chosen as the topic for the research project. Two students have recently been appointed to pursue these objectives through Master's degrees at University of Pretoria's (UP) Departments of Veterinary Tropical Diseases and Production Animal Studies.1 p. : 2 col. photosPDF fileen©L.
