An analysis of the 1967-8 foot-and-mouth disease epidemic with reference to the initial spread, the origin of outbreaks more than 60 km. from the main epidemic area, the series of outbreaks near Worcester, a specific case history and the daily rate of spread of the epidemic, strongly suggests that the weather played a major part in the spread of disease. The two main factors involved in this type of spread are wind and precipitation. It is noted that after the epidemic had been checked, following anticyclonic weather, the association between the weather and the spread of disease was less apparent.
对1967 - 1968年口蹄疫疫情进行分析,涉及疫情的初始传播、距主要疫区60多公里处疫情爆发的源头、伍斯特附近的一系列疫情爆发、一个具体病例史以及疫情的每日传播速度,结果有力地表明天气在疾病传播中起了主要作用。这种传播类型涉及的两个主要因素是风和降水。值得注意的是,在反气旋天气之后疫情得到控制后,天气与疾病传播之间的关联就不那么明显了。
