After the Second World War, foot and mouth disease (FMD) was widely spread in former Czechoslovakia causing enormous losses to animal production. First reliable data were from 1952 when the FMD was reported in 5,912 villages with 316,997 diseased and 23,112 dead animals. Following a very demanding anti-FMD programme, panzootic occurrence was gradually reduced to sporadic cases and finally to the eradication in 1975. During 1952-1975, 8,898 new FMD outbreaks (villages) were reported. The eradication was achieved mainly thanks to strict measures for avoiding FMD introduction from abroad, animal population health protection including FMD vaccination and timely FMD discovery followed by a rapid response applying very strict intrafocal, perifocal and territorial measures. During 1957-1960, a particular epizootiological research was conducted in 70 districts, 245 villages and 459 farms affected by FMD.
