Question

1. an entire county is on quarantine after two farms have diagnosed cases of fmd among their cattle. besides the quarantine, authorities call for deer hunting season to open early. how might this be related to the fmd outbreak? if cattle with fmd see a deer, they will attack it because of the neurological damage. since people cant eat beef because of fmd, they will be able to eat deer meat instead. deer are immune to fmd, so they want to round them up and raise them instead of cattle. wild deer can catch fmd and infect herds of cattle so they would need to be eliminated.

Explanation:

Foot - and - mouth disease (FMD) is a highly contagious viral disease. Wild deer can be infected with FMD and act as reservoirs or vectors, transmitting the virus to cattle herds. By opening the deer hunting season early, authorities aim to reduce the number of wild deer to prevent further spread of FMD to cattle.

Answer:

Wild deer can catch FMD and infect herds of cattle so they would need to be eliminated.
