      As a critical component of our national infrastructure, American agriculture is a broad-based, massive economic juggernaut with complex activities extending from the farm to the fork. Animal agriculture in the United States is highly vulnerable to intentional disease introduction. This article examines the clinical, pathologic, diagnostic, and epidemiologic features of foot-and-mouth disease, avian influenza, classic swine fever, and Newcastle disease.
