About

openFMD initiative is realised thanks to the support of people within our partner institutions that contribute with their expertise, time, funds and technology to ensure that FMD data can be shared rapidly, and analytical tools are made openly available to the FMD research community. We gratefully acknowledge the contribution of research groups and FAO, WOAH and other FMD Reference Laboratories from all around the world who continue to share FMD data with a common ambition to gain a better epidemiological understanding and assist improved disease control.

openFMD has been made possible by the technical cooperation of the European Commission for the Control of Foot-and-Mouth Disease (EuFMD)

openFMD was co-designed and developed by Epi-interactive
