Despite being caused by one of the smallest animal viruses, FMD is the most feared infection of domestic livestock; why is this so? There are three main reasons: 1) its facility for rapid spread is tremendous - it is often quoted as being the most infectious disease agent known; 2) its high morbidity - typically all members of a flock or herd of susceptible animals will become infected; 3) the loss of productivity associated with infection is about 25% - an unsupportable financial burden in modern farming practice. Its destructive potential has long been recognised and even in the 19th century

Metastasis is the most dreaded aspect of the carcinogenic process. More than ninety percent of all cancer deaths are attributable to the consequences of the primary tumor successfully colonizing distant organs. Unlike the situation with colon cancer, a patient with breast cancer can never be considered ’cured’, since as many as a third of breast cancer patients who have apparently curative surgery for their primary tumors ultimately relapse with metastatic disease, sometimes decades later. Much effort is now devoted to understanding this process of metastasis, and finding ways to p
