agree  Daryo: getting the question right would be a good starting point ...
3 hrs
  -> yes indeed. Not even told if it's human (known as "hand foot and mouth disease") or animal!
neutral  philgoddard: The question is so confusing and devoid of context that it's impossible to answer, but there are diseases that affect the feet and legs. And the question header says animal husbandry.//Oh, I didn't realise that.
4 hrs
  -> as commented, it's necessary to know if it's human/animal. Header has been changed from "Medical" when I answered (why I thought it might be human). If "animal husbandry" had been there obviously I'd have had no doubt! "outbreak" suggests foot & mouth
agree  Edith Kelly: what else, given the scant context.
9 hrs
  -> Many thanks. Yes indeed.
agree  jccantrell: I have heard it called 'hoof and mouth disease will' here in the USA.
1 day 6 hrs
  -> Thanks! Yes, I heard that too

disagree  Yvonne Gallagher: a) It's En > En i.e. wrong pair & your header/links are not in English so wrong b) 100% sure with so litle context? It is usually called Foot and Mouth Disease in English. If Googling aphthous fever you're redirected to Foot & Mouth immediately
3 hrs
  -> Yes, I answered the question as EN>ES, but the answer is not wrong. Your answer is right, of course, but as I explained, it is also called aphtous fever and it is a veterinary desease. So, I do not see the reason for your -1, Yvonne.
