UBI got involved with the development of synthetic peptide based immuno-diagnostics and vaccines for Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) in 1997 when Taiwan suffered a major FMD outbreak. Another important factor for our involvement in FMD has been the encouragement and advice of Dr. Fred Brown, a well-known authority in the FMD field, who is now at USDA Plum Island Animal Disease Center (PIADC) just off Long Island here.
