      abstract = {Contagious animal diseases like foot-and-mouth disease  (FMD) are often referred to as economic diseases because of  the magnitude of economic harm they can cause to producers  and to local communities.   This study demonstrates the  local economic impact of a hypothetical FMD outbreak in  southwest Kansas, an area with high density of cattle  feeding.  The expected (most probable) economic impact of  the disease hinges heavily on where the incidence of the  disease occurs.  If the disease were to occur in a cow-calf  herd in the region economic impact is expected to be  relatively small compared to if it were introduced  simultaneously in five large feedlots in southwest Kansas.   Disease surveillance, management strategies, mitigation  investment, and overall diligence clearly need to be much  greater in concentrated cattle feeding and processing areas  at the large feeding operations in the region.},
