Extract

Domestic food animals have been moved from country to country for as long as man himself has wandered in search of new land. Surprisingly, the distribution of certain infectious diseases is not as widespread as might be expected and many countries remain free of them, in spite of man's apparent lack of restraint in flying animals all over the world.
