    "Foot-and-Mouth Disease, contagious febrile disease
    of animals and, rarely, humans. It is also called
    hoof-and-mouth disease. Caused by a virus, it affects
    cloven-hoofed animals such as cattle, swine, sheep,
    goats, and deer, often causing epidemics. "

I hope that wasn't too much to grab.
