title: [Experiences with the control of a foot-and-mouth disease outbreak in the government district of Hannover].
abstract: An FMD-outbreak in the Hannover provincial government district is reported. Cattle and pigs in 6 farms were affected. In all cases FMD-serotype O1 was isolated. The origin of the virus could not be clearly found. The new disease control measures in the FRG are regarded as adequate. It is recommended that all disease control measures should be immediately coordinated by the provincial district government from the very beginning. All infected farms were immediately cleared. For the first time the electric killing method was applied. In an area of about 13 kms around the outbreak all clawed animals were immediately vaccinated. Attention is directed to the economic losses as a result of commercial restrictions placed on agricultural products from the infected area.
