The conditions required for the transport of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) virus in the atmosphere over long distances and in sufficient concentrations to cause infection in exposed animals are described. Using these factors a series of 23 outbreaks of FMD in Europe, where the original outbreaks were separated from later outbreaks by sea passage, have been investigated. The findings obtained support the hypothesis that under certain conditions the airborne transmission of FMD over a long sea passage is possible.
本文描述了口蹄疫病毒在大气中远距离传播并达到足以感染暴露动物的浓度所需的条件。利用这些因素，对欧洲的23起口蹄疫疫情进行了调查，这些疫情中最初的疫情与后来的疫情之间隔着一段海上通道。所得结果支持了以下假设：在某些条件下，口蹄疫有可能通过长距离海上空气传播。
