Consequences of a Foot and Mouth Disease outbreak in Australia.
The modelling results estimated that a large multi-state FMD outbreak would reduce Australia’s gross domestic product (GDP) by 0.16 per cent or $23.6 billion in 2013 value terms over 10 years, while the small Victorian outbreak would result in a reduction of 0.03 per cent or $4.6 billion.

Epidemic and economic impacts of delayed detection of foot-and-mouth disease: a case study of a simulated outbreak in California.
The epidemic and economic impacts of Foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) spread and control were examined by using epidemic simulation and economic (epinomic) optimization models. The simulated index herd was a $2,000 cow dairy located in California. Simulated disease spread was limited to California; however, economic impact was assessed throughout the United States and included international trade effects. Five index case detection delays were examined, which ranged from 7 to 22 days. The simulated median number of infected premises (IP) ranged from approximately 15 to 745, increasing as the detection delay increased from 7 to 22 days. Similarly, the median number of herds under quarantine increased from approximately 680 to 6,200, whereas animals slaughtered went from approximately 8,700 to 260,400 for detection delays of 7–22 days, respectively. The median economic impact of an FMD outbreak in California was estimated to result in national agriculture welfare losses of $2.3–$69.0 billion as detection delay increased from 7 to 22 days, respectively. If assuming a detection delay of 21 days, it was estimated that, for every additional hour of delay, the impact would be an additional approximately 2,000 animals slaughtered and an additional economic loss of $565 million. These findings underline the critical importance that the United States has an effective early detection system in place before an introduction of FMDV if it hopes to avoid dramatic losses to both livestock and the economy.

National Lumpy Skin Disease (LSD) Action Plan (2022).
Testing of animals in remote areas is difficult and time consuming. Developing point-of-care tests would be useful to allow those in the field to quickly rule in disease in clinically affected animals. This would enable responders to delimit surveillance areas in the event infected animals are suspected outside of control areas, before confirmatory testing occurs.
Testing capacity for LSD within the near neighbouring countries of Timor-Leste and PNG is currently severely limited and they are reliant on Australia for testing support. It is crucial that Australia develops LSD testing capability within state and territory veterinary laboratories to ensure we have sufficient capacity to respond to an LSD incursion.
