Foot and Mouth Disease is a highly contagious disease that affects all cloven-hoofed animals. Because of its easy transfer between animals, the relevance of the disease is not restricted to the domestic market of the infected country: Exports of livestock products are likely to be faced with trade restrictions, as importing countries try to minimize the risk of importing the virus. A review of the international regulatory framework reveals that an important factor determining the extent of trade restrictions and the concomitant market disturbance is the control strategy chosen to fight the disease. Hypothetical case studies were carried out to assess the costs related to the trade ban for the US, Canada and the Netherlands. A control strategy that minimizes the time that must elapse before a country can resume its exports will also minimize the cost of the trade ban on the domestic and the international market.
