Hi all, A little clarity is in order. :-)
Aftosa; foot and mouth disease. Enzootic; of animal diseases, peculiar to or constantly in a locality. Coxsackievirus; any of several enteroviruses associated with human diseases (as meningitus)--see epidemic pleurodynia. Epidemic pleurodynia; an acute virus infection that is typically caused by a coxsackievirus and is characterized by sudden onset of fever, headache, and acute diaphragmatic pain. Foot and mouth disease; an acute contagious febrile disease esp. of cloven-hoofed animals that is caused by a picornavirus related to the rhinoviruses and is marked by ulcerating vesicles in the mouth, about the hoofs, and on the udder and teats---called aftosa, aphthous fever, foot and mouth.---compare with hand-foot-and-mouth disease. Hand-foot-and-mouth; a usually mild contagious disease esp of children that is caused by a picornavirus of the coxsackievirus group and is characterized by vesicular lesions in the mouth, on the hands and feet,and sometimes in the diaper covered area. Foot and mouth is not contracted by humans, it can be passed from animal to animal by humans. Hand-foot-mouth is caused by a different virus than foot and mouth, still in the coxsackievirus group however.
