What would you suggest? Vaccinating all the animals that carry and transmit the disease?
Nope, impossible to do so.
I advocate more screening of product before allowed off the docks into our country.
We have enough troubles of our own with Anthrax and Bubonic Plague [both cureable with Antiobiotics] without importing a different strain into the country.
The reason this program caught my attention was the plot line had Anthrax imported on a small drum from S.America.
50 years later hides imported to a New York master drum maker. Sort of fiction followed by fact.
BTW, here in our area we just weeks ago were surprised to find a good number of seals wash up dead on our beaches. Just a small paragraph in the paper that the cause of death was an unknown virus.
