Abstract
This study reports the findings for an analysis using the North American Animal Disease Spread Model and a supply-driven social accounting matrix to examine the impact of a hypothetical FMD outbreak in a relatively isolated part of the U.S., Utah, under various levels of livestock traceability. The analysis demonstrates that a significant regional economic impact in Utah would result from an FMD outbreak but that improved levels of traceability would be very important in helping to reduce the negative economic consequences of the outbreak.
