Events in Europe, including the foot-and-mouth disease outbreak in Great Britain in 2001, have shown the devastating effects that can occur from even a slight delay in detecting a highly infectious animal disease agent in the livestock population. Plant diseases caused even more devastation in Europe in the 19th century, creating the Irish Potato Famine that caused the ancestors of many Americans to flee to the United States to avoid starvation. Avoiding such a plant or animal disease in our country during the 21st century will require a cooperative effort among the federal and state governments, our universities, and the public. CSREES provides funding and leadership to further this effort.
