This paper aims to assess the economic impact of Cattle Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD)
outbreaks in Brazil for 2006. This is done by using an input-output system for Brazilian
economy and two basic scenarios: one which considers FMD outbreaks and decreases in
exports and other which considers the status change for FMD-free without vaccination. In the
first scenario the results show a decrease of total output in the Brazilian economy between R$
3.3 billion and R$ 10.2 billion, while in the second scenario the results show an increase of
total output between R$ 3.8 billion and R$ 12.5 billion.
